My one and only experience with a THS was an 80# coues whitetail buck at 125 yds with a 1st generation 165 grain Balliistic Tip out of my 300 Wby. It did NOT kill the deer and ruined 3 of the 4 quarters. I had to put a finisher in when I got up to him. He was down instantly but very much alive. Truly a case of using the wrong medicine for that job!
I wouldn't hesitate to use it now if I were trophy hunting and using a good bullet- I just haven't had an opportunity since! Dang!
