[QUOTE="338weatherby, post: 2961237, member: 114213"] I had a similar experience years ago with my 270 loaded with 130 Barnes. Whacked a nice 8 point buck at about 40 yards. It hit the ground like a truck hit it. I set the rifle down, stood up and stretched and about a minute later, it stood up. It was wobbling and started limping away. I watched waiting for it to fall over. Well after about 20 yards and heading into the thick stuff, I decided I better put another into him. I sent another into the chest and he just kept going. Four hours later I found him bedded down with head up. A neck shot finished him. When I walked up to him, there was a fist sized hole in the lower rib cage. You could actually see the heart. Problem was, lungs with good and so was the heart. He was trotting by when I hit him the first time. Where he went down, there was bone, meat, fat and blood spattered all over. Low shot in the brisket. Tough deer. If I remember correctly, there were wolves howling that morning in the direction where he came from. Pretty sure here was on the move from them and full of adrenaline. [/QUOTE]
