[QUOTE="tim_w, post: 1045416, member: 11132"] +++100 I swear I have seen so many guys go out and get buck fever and just lose or maybe they never had common sense when it came to shot placement or patience. Why would someone be taking a shot with any rifle regardless of cartridge or caliber thru heavy brush and trees with out a clear bullet path? Even close up let alone, at what was the distance, 650 yards??? Thru heavy trees and brush? WOW To me the difference wasn't between your rifle cartridge and those guys as much as it was you actually knew what you were doing and took the time to take clear shots. BTW I have seen a spooked buck run into a my friends path who was shooting with a rifled slug 12g and put one that ended up sqaure behind the shoulder @50 yd and that **** thing went all super freak and some how managed to bound n sprint snorting and spewing blood out its nose and mouth almost 40-45yards before the front legs bowed and he nosed dived. When we opened him up the whole inside was jello and the exit hole was 3". I still would not have believed it if I had not seen it with my own eye. It was a nice 10 pt but nothing out of the ordinary for a really good size 5-6yr buck. [/QUOTE]
