[QUOTE="Coyote_Hunter, post: 1736695, member: 110773"] Dead Right There. To me that means it quickly died where it was shot, never moving anywhere but straight down. Last weekend we were in Lusk Wyoming hunting do antelope. I had my 257 Roberts loaded to +P velocities with 100g TTSX. My first doe, at 116 lasered yards, trotted off for about 7-8 seconds before going wobbly. NOT DRT, even though the hit was good, one lung had a thumb-sized hole through it and we could not positively identify anything in the mealy red soup that was the second lung. Second doe dropped instantly as was dead when I arrived at it, about 220 yards away. DRT as far as I'm concerned as I never saw any movement after it hit the ground. Daughter #1 used the Roberts to take her doe as well, about 300 yards. The TTSX kicked up dust behind her and I thought she missed until an instant later when the doe thumped the ground. She died sometime between instantly and the time it took us to get to her, but there was no motion that we could detect. Another DRT. [/QUOTE]
