And the answer is I'd have found her with the dog.
quote:agreed, but you know how far one can meander brain dead already.. Seems like I've spent half my life looking for kids and even older fellers than I's deer, where balistic tips have been used..
She was dead in seconds.
ford/chevy, choc/vanilla... i just prefer something that will blow up/expand and penetrate, like the PSP...

Funny you should mention the PSP because the first time I did this that's what I was using. I was 14 years old. It was also 125 gr. out of this same rifle but I did hit the second rib with it.
It did the same thing and I recovered the bullet, 85% intact right under the skin on the opposite side. Since then I've been using the Noslers cranked up to this speed and this is the first one I ever stopped inside the deer. And I've killed more deer than I can remember in that time. That's why when we got down there and I didn't see any blood I was just stumped on what could have happened. I knew she got hit hard but I'd never seen this round not make a HUMONGOUS exit wound.
Apparently, the contents of the guts are much tougher to punch through than a couple of ribs and a heart.
