My wife made an unfortunate bad shot on an 8 point last Sat morning and hit it in the leg. Didn’t break bone just went through the meat on its shank right where it comes out of its shoulder. I caught it in some thin pines on Sun morning at 245 yards and shot it through the shoulders with that worthless 6.5. It dropped right on its keister but I’m sure it was about to drop anyway from the initial shot with her 7mm-08.
