[QUOTE="5.56×250, post: 1662699, member: 110162"] I killed a young whitetail years ago without hitting it. I was hunting with a borrowed 16ga side by side, using buckshot . Only one of the barrels worked, so I used the other barrel for a convenient way to keep an extra round handy. A little spike walked up from behind me and before I saw it , was standing less than 10ft from my tree. I was after jerky meat , so I leveled off on him and touched off a shot. Deer hit the ground like you pole axe him. I climbed down, walked up from behind and touched the deer on the eye to verify it was dead . The deer went crazy ! Flipping and flopping on its side. I took a couple steps back, flipped the gun open, threw the empty out, swapped the fresh round to the working barrel, leveled off on the bucks flopping head at 10ft, and touched off the second buckshot. Deer went still , didnt even twitch ! I field dressed the deer and drug it the 1/4 mile back home. I threw him up on my homemade gambrell and skinned the deer out, looking for the killing pellet as I went. Nothing ! I skinned the neck just to look for a wound . Nothing. I even skinned the head because I was baffled as to where the killing pellet landed. Nothing! There was not a single wound on the deer ANYWHERE . If you think about it, the killing wound should have been very easy to find without skinning it out. A load of no.1 buck at 10-20 ft should leave no doubt where the impact is. That deer died of a heart attack or passed out and died when I field dress it. Crazy stuff. [/QUOTE]
