The first year I ever got a deer in 2008 I was 57 years old.
With a 270 at 400 yards where was a button buck walking away.
I estimated Kentucky elevation and fired.
I look through the scope and his nose was shot off and he was staggering.
Then he went down.
How can a nose shot take down a deer?

I hit him 1" above the anus. It turned the spine bone fragments into gut shot shrapnel and then went out the nose.


There is nothing noble in being superior to your fellow man; true nobility is being superior to your former self. -Ernest Hemingway
The man who makes no mistakes does not usually make anything.-- Edward John Phelps
