[QUOTE="1ASSASSIN, post: 1458733, member: 106291"] I totally agree! That doe was facing me head on, with it's head down feeding. I watched it for a solid 30 minutes and it never would turn broadside. So, the last time it put it's head down, I already had it ranged and the scope dialed in, I put the cross hairs just above the shoulders and centered, and gently squeezed the trigger till it fired. The deer just stood there and I thought I missed. I cased my gun, out it and the range finder in the truck, along with the spotting scope and whatever else was out on the bench. In all this time, I never saw the deer move, so I took my spotting scope out again and studied the deer for a minute or two, and I realized the deer was not standing, but it had dropped straight down, but had not layed over, which is why I kept thinking I had missed. I drove out to the deer, and it was grave yard dead! The bullet had entered center, between the shoulder blades and busted the spine in two, with two vertebrae completely destroyed. Both the heart and lung had light bone shrapnel in them, but the busted spine is what put her down. Still, it was good eating! [/QUOTE]
