Bang. I called the guide and he asked how big/how many points - I said "who the hell cares"..... WWP53D

The picture doesn't quite do him justice. He was killed last November in North Dakota,the date on the camera was incorrect. I used a 270 Winchester with a 140 grain Hornady. The buck went less than 20 yards and left a massive blood trail in the snow while he was doing it. I hit him just behind the shoulder as he was chasing a doe. The bullet ended up just under the hide and weighed about half its original weight and was about twice it's original diameter. If there is something that would have killed him deader quicker,I don't know what it is.

Skane, what did they estimate the live weight of your buck to be? Bob: Way to start a great thread!!! CLB Isn't there a formula that field dressed weight is about 75% of live-weight? If so,the live weight of Skane's buck is about 380 pounds, I think.I could be off on the formula...... Oh, Canada! CLB- Reckon I'd guesstimate around 340-350ish live weight...
