[QUOTE="vancewalker007, post: 2015002, member: 66917"] It sounds like that shot went into the no mans land as archery shooters call it. I've hit a Wyoming Antelope with an arrow in that area and it took a while to get close enough to hit it correctly. The advantage of a very tough bullet in this case is its disadvantage. It sounds like the bullet held together and went through in a lot of ways like an arrow would, missing the majority of the vitals and not sending much of a shockwave into the lungs. From experience this happens in Africa a lot to American hunters. We tend to shoot too high and too far back, And this placement with a tough bullet will make a hole through the hide and rib cage but miss the lungs. A critter can go a long way in this condition.
