My crosshairs were moving right in front to right behind HER neck , probably a few inches below HER head. Just trying to stay up with a deer running that far away was hard enough. I luckily made a connection. It was a god given birthday miracle.
Dude - you didn't just mis-type that twice when typing about shooting a buck, did you? Stay on point with the story, bro.

If the doubters will think about it... It was a running shot with him quartering away and I was very lucky to have hit him. Man that's why we have questioned this, because we have thought about it. Im not trying to take away you glory and the kill. I would have shot it as well. Glad you made a personal record and lucked out with the spine shot. Did you hit him on the first shot. If so you better be glad you did hit him on the second cause you likely would have never found him
Only accurate rifles are interesting.

Don't blame me for your bad decision-

Plus every cotton field I've seen this past month has been bush-hogged.

And this is how people justify shooting a "180 lb spike" smh grossly overestimating weight .. Thing woulda weighed 225 if he hadn't blew that 40 lb chunk of meat out when he spine shot it .
On a side not me and JTs girlfriend both got a little choked up while reading this thread !!!

It's possible that he jerked off and got lucky.  I always thought that was a consequence of not getting lucky. Well I thought it was the nicest thing I could come up with!

One factor people seem to always discount on long running shots is the horizontal axis. (Not taking a shot at OP, just always thought this was fascinating. Argued with a coworker who said the bullet got there so fast at long ranges it didn't matter.)
Let's use some good round numbers, and I'll choose a very hot round for published ballistics.
400 Yard Shot
130 Gr Hornady SST Superformance .270WIN
The average velocity (out of a long test barrel) for this round over 400 yards is 2,787.4/fps.
400 yards = 1,200 feet.
So, it would take that round roughly .43 seconds to travel 400 yards.
So how fast is a deer sprinting? Google gives us a round number of 30 MPH.
30 MPH = 44 FPS
So, a deer traveling perpendicular to the shooter, at top sprint, will move (44 FPS * .43 S) 18.92 feet in the time it takes that round to reach its target.
Also, the drop of that round with a 200 yard zero is 16.7" at 400 yards.
So, to hit a deer at an intended spot at full sprint at 400 yards, you'd have to lead it by 18.92 FEET, AND compensate for 16.7 inches of drop.
Wild, huh? The vertical axis doesn't seem to matter much anymore, does it?

I just want to know why the cotton wasn't bush-hogged........... Provides good cover for deer in the field and no more boll weevil diapause laws to worry about

I just want to know why the cotton wasn't bush-hogged........... Out of all people you need to back off... You've yet to come up with a true reason to bash on me... Not a single thing you've said or accused me of has turned out to be true. So once again let me correc you... The cotton had been picked.. Not bush hogged. There's still a little cotton left on the stalks. Which the deer enjoy eating the seeds out of along with the little hreen fertilized grass underneath. You obviously have never hunted cotton fields or you would be aware that you leave the stalks standing. Smh. Now please... Fall off my thread and go back to another thread and start bashing that one for a while.
