[QUOTE="J.G.W, post: 1511708, member: 105758"] I had similar with a red stag years ago. The only shot I had was a high one due to the brush around him, hit him with a 30/06, DRT. I was 350 away on the opposite ridge and closer to my vehicle than the deer, I knew there was a road just above him so decided to drive over there instead of walking straight in. By the time I arrived he’d found his feet and disappeared. I found where he fell, there was blood on the ground and I could make out where he’d thrashed his way back to his feet. I tracked that stag for miles but never did find him. I have since seen a stag (definitely a different animal) with a healed up bullet hole high and back and I’m guessing that this is what happened to me. I saw the same with a chital (axis) stag too. No more high shots for me. [/QUOTE]
