First deer I shot was with a 1-14" 22-250 and a 55 Win soft point.

Mule deer buck with does at 150 yards. Shot him once behind the shoulder and the herd runs behind a hill. Buck appeared uninjured, I thought I missed, what the frick?!


Does all appear from the other side of the hill but no buck...


Hmmm..



Walk around the hill and sure enough the buck was laying on the other side.

He might have ran 100 yards, maybe 75.


Slow twist, slow death story.....grin
