Bang flop vs Bang ‘wtf’ 😳 & an old dog saves the day!

I was getting concerned for a moment there. When the hat, then the scarf... I was worried we'd end up with a naked man standing triumphantly over a dead deer with his clothes criss-crossing the woods

Well done

First fallow, no adrenaline. Second fallow, full of adrenaline hence the track.

It was a 120gn Sierra Pro-Hunter in 6.5. No issues at all with the bullet or it’s performance, just the fact the doe knew there was something very wrong before she got shot!

Just out of interest Donkey have you ever recovered any of the 120g pro hunter bullets out of the deer? Any species and if so what did they look like?

Great description of field craft and persistence. Really enjoyed that. What a great life your dogs have!

Nope, not recovered one yet, they all go right through so far.

Got two more yesterday evening - made sure the second one got pinned so I didn’t have a long follow up…
