I recovered every animal i shot and looked at their vitals when gutting them. Not one was gut shot.

On tight behind the shoulder shots it looked like you poked a knitting needle through the first lung, the 2nd would show some bullet expansion with an exit around the size of a quarter a 50 cent piece. Once they began to expand they did fine but they were halfway through the deer before they did.

Shoulder shots through bone started the expansion sooner, but we eat shoulders so I prefer behind the shoulder placement
