Wow, never thought the pics would generate this much interest!
I've killed deer with pistols, bows, shotguns, rifles, and cars, and have seen them react in a lot of different ways. I've seen them drop after being hit with #1 buck from a 16ga, yet seen them run 100+ yards after being hit through the shoulders with a 7x57 140gr Partition. I've taken deer with Core-Lokts, Ballistic Tips, Partitions, Hi Shoks, Swift A-Frames, Power Points, TBBCs, etc, and they all seem to react differently. Majority of them, specifically on shoulder hits, drop in their tracks. However, last year, I shot two bucks with a 140gr Partitions out of a 7mm-08 that both ran a minimum of 75 yards. I recovered one of those bullets, and will post a pic if I can find it. If I remember correctly, it separated from the jacket and retained about 50% of its weight.
