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.
