Every other deer I’ve hit with that bullet has dropped DRT with absolutely devastating effects on the vitals so I knew I had pulled the shot. I am considering going to the “Power Point” bullet next year.

I hate the animal suffered no matter how short lived so that’s on me but at least we made a recovery.
