Shoot him in the shoulders. It doesn't matter if it opens or not. All the bone shrapnel is going to kill him before he hits the ground. You don't have to look for him, he can't run and fall in a giant cactus patch. He can't run down into the bottom of a canyon. I have never lost an animal I have hit in the shoulders. A 7 rem mag will go through a deer shoulders at 600 yds. Did the bullet open? Dont know. Couldnt find it. You always bone out the front shoulders to make hamburger anyway. Your just getting a little head start. I have been on a few south Texas guided hunts. The guides tell the clients to shoulder shoot. Just my opinion. He can't jump the fence either. Guys on my lease have had that happen 3 times. Same guy twice. You lose too much meat he said. Looks to me like he lost it all.
