[QUOTE="DemoRN, post: 1983871, member: 105193"] Bad part of story ranged a deer at 300 yrds was actually 400 range finder was not working properly. I found out later. Shot took broadside hit right knee. Deer turned I was confused took the same shot took out the left knee. Drop was exactly the difference between 300 and 400 yrds. Ran to close some of the distance. Deer turned faced me and bedded. Body hidden in knee high grass. I then shot the 3 point mule deer square in the eye with a 308 shooting a 150 gr partition from 200 yrds. ? Kill shot right? The bullet left a perfect 308 notch in the right medial bottom of the eye socket. Saw a puff of blood in my scope. Bullet to the best of my reckoning some how turned around in his face and came out the nose. Deer went down did the neuro twitch. Watched him for a minute. Then approached. After closing to about 50 yrds. The deer got up and hobbled off dazzed as all get out for about 50 yard before I caught up to him. Bla blah blah don't approach a wounded animal. Finished him. Yes bullets do some strange things at times when confronted with the perfect shot angle to cause the bullet to trace a solid object. Yes animals are much more tough than we give them credit. Have never shot an animal in the head since. And probably never will. [/QUOTE]
