Son's First Deer!
Opening weekend of Deer season hear in Minnesota. My son has been practicing all summer with my 223 contender. Late on Saturday he got the chance to connect broadside with a thick bodied 8pt at ~115 yards. He hit the heart and it ran about 100 yards before piling up with a chest full of blood. He was using a Barnes TSX Factory load which did the job, but being in the back side of the shoulder, there were lots of tissue layers and no blood trail. The load worked, but next year he's shooting something bigger.
