Home Forums Hunting & Shooting Deer Hunting Deer kills and bullet holes...............

Well it's been a month since my last post BUT yesterday I kilt thisun.


As you can tell I shot him in the withers. He collapsed. This was the first pic and I had not moved him at all.

This 2nd pic I had turned him over. You can't see an exit and I thot the bullet stayed inside. That surprised me but when I skinned him the bullet had angled down and EXITED hi in the ribs. When I turned him over the hide slipped (or the body rolled inside it) and I couldn't see or feel an exit hole.



When I dressed him I didn't think about this thread so I didn't take any pics of the exit. I do the 'gutless' method so I didn't empty the chest cavity. I could've taken a pic of the exit in the ribs but I didn't think about it. The exit hole in the ribs was about 1" in dia.
---I'll do better next time, sorry.

I have 5 weeks of season and I expect to 'harvest' (kill) a few more so I'll remember.
