If that's a rodeo or goat rope, your doing great.
Some deer drop, and on cleaning, you can't really see why.
Others, run off losing vital parts as they go.


I have been one of the actors in 3 goat ropes, 2 i started, 1 i finished.

Mine involved poor bullet performance/choices.
In both, the bullet holes were like pencils pushed through.
If I had shot and waited, they would have fell.
I continued to shoot, then followed, making things worse.

My dad started the other with an XTP sabot. He misjudged the angle
And put a bullet through a deer, then through its ham. It ran off.
When I went to get it for him, it took off.
A bunch of running, some shooting, reloading, I was down to my last
load for the gun, I was afraid to shoot for fear it too would be ineffective.
I chased until I was within feet, head shot finished it.

Once an animal is shot and chased, it becomes very hard to stop.
