Missed a head shot on a whitetail doe once....once😃
I’m sure I parted the greasy locks of her forehead gland.
Anyway, I can state that a winchester supreme 250 gr nosler partition gold will punch completely through a 5-1/2” caliper eastern red cedar. And still keep on trucking
50 ish yards
They quit making those btw.
Hahaha. That reminds me of the time I killed a doe with a 94 30-30 angle eject with infamous rattle trigger and the bullet didnt go in her.
Had said gun 3in high at 100. She came by about 70 yrs out in a palmetto river bottom just the other side of a shallow ridge I was sitting and watching. The wide shallow ridge was about 3 ft high and I couldnt get a body shot so I put the crosshairs on her head and fired and she disappeared from view without me seeing her bounding off jumping the palmetto she was travelling the edge of.
I sat there a few and got to thinking, dayom, that bullet was near 3 inches high at that distance. I hooked it over the hardwood ridge and found her laying there with one or 2 BB flecks of blood above her head on the ground. There was about a 3/16 in size almost square hole in top of the skull where the hide was gone.
I just dont see how any human can survive a bullet to the brain pan as I figured she died from loss of CSP fluid and pressure.
