    Terminal.
    It was back on to me very slightly quartered and feeding downhill, and I could see its head between its front legs...

    Do you switch projectiles during hunts?

    @stug that was where you and I went. There was one exactly where you shot your 2. I saw about 20.

    A few yearling fallow with the 75gr eld-m 2920fps.
    My daughters first deer hunt. She shot her first deer. A yearling hind @25m in the trees after waiting for 5min patiently for a clear shot. It was bloody neat listening to the group of fallow talking to each other unaware of us.
    I neck shot the spiker @ 30m a few minutes after the first as they didn't know what was going on.

    And a yearling spiker I headshot at 120m. It's skull turned to jelly but didn't break the skin.

    Cheers MD. It was a great time and she is keen as to go back again. We were with my mate, his wife and their two boys.
    Definitely a proud dad moment.
    Nah no make up, just blacked out our faces on the photo for the open Internet.

    75gr eldm on a young buck I shot @220m front of neck. Also a follow up base of head shot @220m as its body was still moving sporadically, which shouldn't happen with a high neck shot.

    Yep, but that 'mighty good hunter' should have come on this hunt with his granddaughter instead of watching the football final... Then she could be taught the same.
    Next time ay granddad? You'll have to start a '.222 on deer' thread then.
