Well after the snow after Christmas, I decided to go sit in the stand, since I was out of work because of the snow.

Has seen several bucks on my camera, all in the middle of the night, but i figured with the snow they might move in the day.

Here he is a few days before

Watched him and another buck for 30 minutes. Lost the other in the woods. but this one sat there eating for a while. I was going to take a neck shot again. But as I thought about it I was really curious if the bullet would in fact tumble like my research said it would.

I debated it for a few minutes. I had no doubt I could kill him, but if he did not drop on the spot then I figured with the fresh snow on the ground he would be easy to track, even if there wasn't a blood trail.

I lined up the shot right behind the shoulder. He was right at 50 yds like the other one earlier. When I fired he jumped up and ran forward. I didn't hear him hit the ground but was confident I had hit him good. After I got down to check there was only a few blood spots on the ground at the impact spot. Could see where he jumped up and ran thru the snow. About 20 feet down his path I began to see blood, it got heavier until about 30 yds. He took a right turn and went about 15 feet and laid down.

Needless to say I was impressed with the wound damage.

Nice
 

I clipped two this year with the Subs also. Unfortunately missed the heart but made a mess of the lungs. Both made it less than 70 yards and plenty of blood to follow. Congratulations and thank you very much for taking the time to do the pictures.

Nice
