I've killed 2 big E Texas stud bucks and two medium sized. All except one medium one were well hit and required some focus and effort at tracking up through the thick stuff though they probably only went 80-120 y.

The one that didnt came by at a run and I emptied the gun, shooting until it fell. One hit at leading edge of shoulder, one behind shoulder, one in liver and one through the base of the tail. I was fairly young and had always heard to shoot until they fall. Not knowing the location of the first 3 shots, I did.

240 gr hp hand loads of my brother and really no pass throughs on body hits. I like the semiauto aspect for sneaking in the thick stuff, but would use a SP in the future.

Things are different back then. Uncles and us kids camping out in the winter. If you saw horns you needed that deer.

The heart of the wise inclines to the right, but that of a fool to the left.

A Nation which leaves God behind is soon left behind.
