Ranger RA556B / fatal shooting (graphic pics)
My very firstest deer ever, btw...
Ammo: Ra556b
Rifle: 16.1" Daniel defense with surefire 556-212
The shot: 25m to deer
The reaction: Deer "hunched/hopped", and then tore off running ultimately 70m down a hill and expired before I reached it (2-3min?) Its flight was erratic, and it hit several trees heading down the slope.
Deer was a doe, approximately 100-120# in weight.
Heart was hit, as we're both lungs. Heart was ruptured in several places from hydrostatic shock, in addition to the physical bullet path.
Entrance:
Exit:
Ground where she was hit (heart/lung tissue present):
Resolution:
40# of meat total, gave 5# or so to friends who invited me for the thanksgiving hunt I took her on! 20+ hours in a stand over the week-end paid off!

Thanks, all! Very pleasing to take it from the hoof, to the freezer, 100% of the way. I won't lie though, I was lost in the sauce without someone showing me what to do, and helping me with it. Processing a deer for me wasn't "see...do". It was more clumsy than that, lol!
