[QUOTE="Broz, post: 855796, member: 7503"] Ok heck yes. I remember them all and there were more than one. Most all of them were when I was younger. I lived in a state that only allowed shotgun slug hunting for deer. Deer drives were common and many running shots in the timbers resulted in me being responsible for some very poorly placed hits. The animal paid the tab. A couple not recovered. As I grew older I traveled to states that allowed use of rifles. I used fast shooting flat rifles and still tried some running shots on WT deer. Results were similar in a few cases. Maybe this is why I like what I do today better. I will take a slow highly calculated shot over a fast spray and pray any day. I have been lucky for a long time now with no recent wrecks. Sure one may land back to far from a bad wind call, but the bullet I use helps me in these instances and animals seldom take more than a few steps. This is where a follow up can be sent if needed for a fast dispatch. Jeff [/QUOTE]
