BTW, the deer I shot Saturday was of course shot with 308 NBT. I got serious back trouble and can't drag one at all, so I have to pick stands where I can drive to the deer and shoot him in the shoulder with a BT to make sure he is DRT.

But the deer was about 75 yards from a road and walking towards it when I spotted him. Since he was going towards the road I let him get to the last opening before bleating at him to stop him. He was still about 40 yds from the road, so instead of shooting him in the shoulder I shot just behind it, figuring he might make the road before expiring. It worked out perfectly and he was in the ditch just across the road.

I backed the cart right up to him and started winching him into the bed as I always do, but he was so heavy that the cable that holds the winch bumper down snapped and I couldn't get him on. He was far enough into the bed that I was able to just drag him back to the house.

Just further evidence of the superiority of the NBT.
