A few deer seasons ago, my best friend and hunting partner took a shot at doe in a thicket with his 338-06 and we were confident he had a good hit on this deer. We spent a while looking around for any sign of blood and then we found a big hole in a 3" sapling...
Trees have a funny way of jumping in front of your bullets sometimes. Subsequently, I always smile when another hunter tells me they bought this or that so they can "shoot through brush" and I wish them good luck.
