[QUOTE="Orange Dust, post: 2403886, member: 92702"] too far back will also get the same result. I had a buck take a step right when I pulled the trigger one morning at about 500. I knew it was a bad hit when the gun went off. He ran out in a pine cutover. Actually mostly briars with some short pine trees. I just went to camp for a while to let him stiffen up in peace. We went to look for him in the middle afternoon. Easy to find, guts in exit wound snagged on briars and left a trail right to him. Kinda gross. Plenty of blood too. We were pretty surprised when he got up and ran off. He didnt' go far, maybe 100 yds. I snuck up on him and put one in his neck. This after resting for 6 hours with no intestines and very little blood. He also had to have very little blood pressure. Without a hit that disrupts a vital organ or CNS it is amazing what some animals can take. [/QUOTE]
