    Hit a chamois front on and not a spec of blood to be found. Neck was broken by the way it flopped around when I recovered it. Damage was all internal so without dressing it out you may not know. Close range and depending on what bullet there's a fair chance it blew up inside. Or there was something wrong with it. After all it changed from a chamois to a tahr by the time you got to it. A neat camouflage trick but going from one hunted species to another may not be the brightest move?

    Ahh yes, the 7mm08 also known as the 'poor mans 270' Just knowing that you have dreamt of owning a 270 would cause the heart of a timid young Tahr to stop !!!

    Skin it to find the entry wound? I sometimes can't find the entry on an animal with a thick coat after a clean kill. Failing that maybe open up the guts to inspect for organ health?

    A mate was hunting a farm a few years ago and spooked a red spiker, the thing ran into a corner of deer fencing and panicked not being able to get out and drop dead, he gutted it and carried it out and said it was good eating checked its liver and overal condition, must have had a heart attack

    You failed DLW, to mention that your mate had a 270 in his possession at the time

    Haha he had a 223 and didn't have to firer a shot at that deer to bring it home. Everyone knows that if you have a 270 nothing stands a chance, it's those silly 6.5s that have issues iv heard, never hunted with one but a mate of a mate of a mates brother shot a deer and it ran away so they can't be any good

    Exactly. I was saying the same thing to my neighbour the other day as I rode the horse and cart into town to pick up 2 guineas worth of salted pork and thruppence worth of tobaccy...these 270s are the only fit and proper calibre a man should use. Like these silly horseless carriages you see on the road now...any other newfangled calibre will NEVER take off, it's just a fad

    We 270 owners might be old fashioned, but we do know that when taking a horse and cart into town the horse is 'Driven' not ridden, the driver being on a seat at the front of the cart.
    PS 270 owners don't need to buy their salt pork

    No, I mean rode. I was back in the wagon with my 270 and the sheep. The wife drove us, with a Creedmoor on her lap. She lets me ride on the back if I've done all my chores.

    Might have had a weak heart. The fright was a bit much for the poor thing.
