Home Forums Hunting & Shooting Deer Hunting DRT is over rated

yuck, I agree that is a poor pic to post. and the poster is proud of what exactly?


I shoot 168 VLD's from a 308 and punched behind the shoulder often yields a DRT or bangflop. I try to put it midway between the brisket and top of the back. the majority of critters flop over when I do this, no meat loss to speak of. maybe it was jwall who posted the pic of the inside and the nick out of the backbone, I often see this with mine as well. I firmly believe equal credit goes to the load I'm using and proper shot placement. Of the last 20 or so big game animals we've taken with it I've only seen 1 go any distance and that was my wife's mule deer in 2017, she hit it in the ribs and demolished both lungs. it ran 100 yards and still had his head up 15 minutes after the shot. I have no idea how it was possible, but was an easy recovery.
