    Was hoping no one was going to ask that. Was front on shot, deer stepped forward down slip and bullet went over head and straight down spine found it next to ass. No back steaks off this one.

    Did it touch a bit of " green" or passed over?
    Good that you recovered the deer and the bullet any way.

    Took half the day to recover. Waist deep river and had just snowed was pretty sweet.

    Given the speed you walk mate it was probably only 300m away
