Thread: Introducing Larry

Well done on Larry. Only one bit of bad news. No deer will ever taste as good as Larry will.....All kidding aside- congratulations and he should be a very good eater.

I had a mate nearly lose a deer with the same issue, but his weren't Nosler. His was an SST at about 100. Took a shot to the neck and flipped over feet in there air and stopped. Everyone was standing shaking their hands etc when the bugger woke up and walked off. They put one through the front of the chest but with the adrenaline now running he just kept walking. Found him later (about a couple hours) and I saw him so I finished the job with a 303. Boom, Flop. (215gr round nose every time...) I took the shot as I was not sure if it was the same monster or another one (I wont show the pic as this is your thread..). It happens sometimes.

The first shot was well placed at close the the base of the neck just below the spine. But it pencilled through missing arteries and bone at just the right point....so it does happen, unfortunately.
