Deer dropped, jumped up & hauled ass, gave him 30m and only found a pinch of hair where I shot, no blood anywhere. After 2 hours of wandering in the direction he ran my dad stumbled up on him. Deer ran 250+yds after a perfect heart shot and we never found a drop of blood...time to retire the 243. Last edited by Skully; 01/13/17 06:05 AM.

With the lack of blood on this deer coupled with losing a doe a few years back I really don't want to risk wounding any future deer.
