Cast from Air Cooled WW's with a little tin...Alox tumble lubed

35 yds, First Shot broadside through neck, second angling away, third angling also...all penetrated fully left 1/2" entry wounds and approx 1 1/2" exits. Neck shot was probably enough but they are tough animals. After 35 minute wait, I approached and found him about 30yds from initial shot. He was angling uphill away from me, Swaying and leaking bad...I slipped the last one right behind his last rib and it came out his chest. Liver was jelly...dropped him for good on the spot. Tough damn animals. Great hunt.
