[QUOTE="LVJ76, post: 2328463, member: 108965"] You make a great point and I believe I mentioned it earlier. The coues deer if not taken with a high shoulder shot can run a couple hundred yards with vitals completely destroyed. I've taken many mule deer that upon impact bullets have caused hydrostatic shock and drop in the spot. These same bullets have hit several coues deer in the same spot and similar distances and they take off like lightning. When you use the high shoulder shot though, you waste a large portion of meat on an animal that doesn't yield much as it is. And yes, when one drops you keep your sights on it for a few minutes to make sure it is dead. They can be hard to locate especially on tall grass that will completely cover them. For those coming to hunt these deer, bring a good bullet that will destroy vitals and that is a little forgiving if shot placement is not ideal. Where we hunt it is very common to deal with 25 to 35 mph winds and gusts much higher than that. [/QUOTE]
