[QUOTE="Pdvdh, post: 233997, member: 4191"] From your description of the bullet it sounds like bullet performance was perfect, and that buck just didn't cooperate. The fact that the deer hit the dirt at the shot tells me the bullet likely expanded. The two animals I observed with no bullet expansion stayed on their feet and showed very little sign of having been hit. The sheep just reversed position 180 degrees and looked around trying to figure out what was up. The bear did start running at the shot but they typically hit the ground on any good hit. He was out on an open mountainside slide area so we were eventually able to get two more bullets into him while he was trying to decide which way to go. Yes a very unusual story based on your description of the hit and the follow-up kill. That buck should have gone hoofs up. But like they say, "never say never" and "never say always"... unless you're willing to look silly afterwards. [/QUOTE]
