So I shot this little twerp today, lone deer, small, looking for corn the turkeys missed under the feeder. I had doubts about it surviving due to snow that’s knee deep on me in the shallow spots. My daughter was with me and wanted to learn how to gut a deer. Had an antlerless tag, shot I shot it with the Creedmoor (more on that later) and it took off. Found it, looked at it, by all accounts a doe. Roll,it over and my daughter says, “is that what I think it is? Yep, it’s a buck. Felt the head and found nubs. Would enter it, but they aren’t visible above the hairline at all. In the words of Brando, “I coulda been a contender!” In any case, my kid wants to be a surgeon, so she got a cervid anatomy lesson, and I kept my pants clean. She’s hooked.. the Creedmoor? A 120 gr. Ballistic tip leaves an entry wound like a grenade when moving at about 2850 at impact, but still exits. Will think twice before using again,
