[QUOTE="Orange Dust, post: 1250854, member: 92702"] Ok, I'll shoot another one and see what happens. Will change back for next year. The bullet looked like it hit exactly where I was holding, which was further forward than I really wanted to hit it. Couple inches more and right where you all think it hit, and I hoped it didn't. Hard to be 100% sure at that distance at 5pm. Even with a good scope, happens pretty fast. Soaked pants in blood going after it, it was bleeding on both sides. It didn't go far, less than 50yds, but should never have gotten back up after laying at impact point for 15min. Will shoot next one in the lungs if I can find one 100yds from deep water, otherwise top of the shoulders. I do believe if I had shot it with an SST It would have been a done deal with two ruined shoulders. I've seen them put shoulder bone in hams at close range. Can be pretty messy with a hit like this. They do really well in lungs though. [/QUOTE]
