Congratulations on a successful hunt! And on taking the time to save some fat that will render nicely. I'm way behind on making some.
Reminds me of the first cartoon movie “Open Season”.Congratulations! Here’s mine, half an eight pointer. Taken with a .50 Lehigh last week. So excited the only picture I took was at the processor’s. Go figure!
I shot an 8 with 90 gr OE 3F on 6 in new snow quartering in /head down feeding 87 yds(ranged) and saw it run off with 5 others . Got down and had no trouble finding track because the near shoulder was broke causing it t drag. The weird thing was no blood /hair nothing and I followed that into the neighbors wood for a total of maybe 120-130 yds with nothing and to my right piled up under a cedar tree this buck laid in a pile of blood . Come to find out a round ball shot fast enough under 100 yds will often mushroom and like this layed under the hide on the far side just like your flying saucer . No exit and entry side was high on the hide cause the deer was head down == no blood but a little more yardage /less speed the ball exits with good blood /happened 2x with me/EdThanks, definitely going to bump my powder charge up to 80 or 90 grains (I was using 70 of 3Fg Old Eynsford). Even at 70 grains the chest cavity was a mess with massive bruising on the offside, just no exit wound.
