[QUOTE="Bravo 4, post: 1493286, member: 8873"] Didn’t make it off the first page and not even reading the rest of the responses to this thread... what he said! I started smashing deer through the shoulders (both if possible) after “losing” 2 deer that ran off even though shots were well placed behind the shoulder, with 7mm mag and deer appropriate bullets. One was the biggest whitetail I will probably ever shoot that ran about 200 yards and was stolen by another hunter. The next was a buck that ran about 75 yards and jumped into some heavy flowing water only to never be seen again. Another example would be my daughter’s first deer: doe @ 150 yards broadside. Same 7 mag with 162 SST, great behind the shoulder shot that instantly resulted in seeing the red rose of death (and had a nasty exit wound). Deer hunched up, ran a short distance, stopped and looked at the deer behind her and went back to feeding! A second shot several seconds later dropped her. No telling how far she could have went. I would rather lose a little meat than get none at all. Put that Berger through the shoulders, the deer won’t go far if at all. [/QUOTE]
