Unlike the TV hunting shows where the deer always turns broadside, I had a buck (9 pointer) facing me straight on and had only stopped for a few seconds. I hit him in the front going straight back, almost straight down the middle. Missed his heart, might have nicked a lung. He acted hit, but I diod not find him in the first 50 yards, so we did a tracking job. Found him after him going maybe 250 yards downhill. Plenty of blood to track. Entrance hole was about 1" in diameter (?), and that's where the blood came out. He bled a lot internally.
I was using a .30-06 with 150 gr Accubond at around 2850 fps from my 20" barrel carbine.
On body length shots like this, ya think a heavier bullet would have been better?
