I was flowing a slowly running buck in a swamp in nirthern Pennsylvania. He was only 20 yards away and I had the scopeat 1.5x glued to his chest. The doe were also running with him through the strippings (What we call small trees less than 2 inches in diameter.)I had the set trigger set and waited until he was in a small opening - kept swinging - touched the trigger just as the muzzle was EXACTLY SQUARE with a 2 inch sumac tree. The buck hit the ground as if he had been electrocuted - the 165 grain HPBT Sierra was fully expanded when it hit him - twelve feet from my boot tracks. We found the bullet, amazingly in one piece, in the off-side lung. The heart was shredded.

Only proves that you never know - that's why I learned to track a LONG time ago.
