[QUOTE="WildRose, post: 1516488, member: 30902"] No argument from me. I lost a top ten B&C buck that way back around 1990. It was late and I was afraid of making a bad shot so I decided on a neck shot at around 400yds figuring "better a clean miss than to wound and lose him in the dark" because between the hogs and coyotes he'd be stripped clean before daylight in all likelihood. Lined up the shot, pulled the trigger and he hit the ground like a ton of bricks. As I get to him he kicks once and I almost put another into him but was afraid of damaging the rack. I set my gun down with an empty chamber a few feet away, and pulled out my knife. Went to remove his testicles and suddenly he wakes up, kicks me about twenty times about the head, face, and shoulders and disappears into the dark. Saw him three more times that season and during the next and he carried that scar just above the spine but never got within a half mile of him again. Eventually I think he died of old age because had he been killed it would have been huge news in the area. [/QUOTE]
