Son #2 got a doe yesterday evening. The pictures didn't turn out good. He was using a Ruger M77 in 7mm mag, with 150 gr. Core Lokts. Distance was approximately 20 yds. He hit her low but it took out either part of the heart or an artery because she left a blood trail a blind man could follow. Blood was just gushing out of.the large exit wound. She ran about 40 yds. We took her to the processor.

A very timely hunt!

My thoughts are generally clear. My typing, not so much.

Thanks everyone. I haven't killed a deer in several years: I've been letting him do it. Plus, I just ain't as mad at'em as I used to be.

Very nice! Sounds like a perfect shot regardless of placement if she was bleeding like that.

Accuracy: because white space between bullet holes drives me insane.
