Hunting & Fishing Deer are Sofaking Tough!!!!

[Biscuit]

I shot a small blacktail last night, maybe a 90 pounder. At 120 yds I busted his shoulder popped both lungs and its heart, decent exit out the ribs. Thing ran 50 yds before burrying itself in a massive blackberry thicket. After an hour of chopping and whacking, I now look like I fought a herd of Feral Cats and lost.

No pics, thing was barely a fork on both sides, was literally 90 pounds soaking wet. Last few days of season and had an extra tag. Should be delicious.

Cool. They tend to be the tastiest from my experience. If you got an extra tag to fill it's hard to go wrong with a youngin' that the meet is barely red in yet.

Yeah it never makes sense to me either. I put a bullet in the upper 1/4 of a deers heart took out all the major vessels for transporting blood and took out a chunk of both lungs. 100gr sierra BTSP and he ran 50yards. The will they have to live is incredible

Ive also stoned some pretty big deer with exact same load at much farther distances.

You just never know
