Gday
Here's one for the ages
My mate shot this deer but he's to camera shy to share the information but I just can't pass up the opportunity to share so we all can see & learn
So
Took 2 shots only problem the shots were 6 months apart to the day
First shot 150 gr corelox out of a 300wsm @ around 3 k impact hit shoulder smashing it & underhide on the far shoulder yep the stag was a nice broadside & pill preformed text book held together mushroomed & penertrated well for corelox under pretty high resistance
Angle of shot was uphill
Retained weight 97.1 gr
Stags weight around 550 lbs
The blood trail was omg yep very impressive & went for some considerable distance then just stopped 1.14 on video of fairly steady walking
& stag was unrecovered after considerable time trying to find
Then 3rd jan rolled around & he's out again & smacked the same deer but secured him this time & although a cool part of that to me it's the incredible survival of this deer from the shot 6 months earlier
Here's the entry side
Here's the far side bulging pill under skin & pill cut out
Here's where the pill exited the chest cavity
Here's the lungs & some of the damage from both new & old wounds
Thoughts ?
So what does this great bit of information tell us & what can we do to improve moving forward
Cheers
