    6:50 AM - took this guy this morning in heavy fog at about 175 yards.
    had been watching about 9 deer in a group and he was on the outside all the time , not big but fills the freezer and is #5 for the year.

    Fog hunting sucks. without stabilized Cannon Binoculars I would have never seen any antler and couldn't tell you if he was an 8 point when I squeezed the Tikka's 16 OZ trigger after barely finding him again in my Leopold scope. [ not a Leopold fan ] drove home in the fog at 7:30 , deer meat in Ice by 9:15 and dogs fighting over the carcass by 9:30 .

    anyway the exit wound was impressive and the reason for the photo.
    this is the most dramatic exit wound so far from the 130 grn 270 win Ballistic tips I use.
    some people like them and some do not.

    holy shit. the only reason i dont use ballistic tips anymore is because they mess up more meat and make it very messy cleaning it. i didnt have to trail any deer though.

    Hand loads ?? NosBalTips(the non "hunting" ones)+ speed ='s ....ka - blewie. --- SAWMAN

    no , not hand loads. Federal Premium Vital-Shok
    this is kill #15 with them in 3 years and all went down hard.
    even with the arteries severed above this guys heart and both lungs gone he still made it about 20 yards
    it looked like frost on the ground with white hair everywhere when I got to when he was hit , look at the shock streaks in the fur.
