As this little Fallow was half dead anyway and I shot it with a 9.3x64 Brenneke which is considered over kill by many,it must be very over dead. Saw it 3 days ago and yesterday afternoon spent 1.5 hrs frustrating hunting, as it would move off and then go to ground and hide. Shot in the neck from 40yds with a speer 270 gr at 2700fps.
It had a fawn inside that had reduced to a pile of bones in her womb.

No such thing as overkill :)
Nice rifle
Good job John
Good man, saved he from a painful death by the sounds.
Her neck must have been in a state?
Well done John. Look how hollow it is in the arse end.
Bullet too strong exit hole 25mm no mess.
Looks about the right amount of dead to me. Seen a few poor condition hinds, this due to dry summer?
Overkill is underrated - 358 Norma Mag on Roe deer works good as well :)
Well done John, would not have survived this winter?
A quick mercifull end to the pain by the looks of things.
I've found lambs mummified inside ewes on the odd occasion when doing house mutton, they're hard as a rock.
Phil.
And I thought Muntjac with a 30-06 was a tad much lol! No such thing as too dead though I suppose
Love your work!
Nice rifle, great cal
No substitute for cubic capacity

Welcome to the forum Phil
Thanks 308, appreciated..Some unusual topics ( such as this one) on this forum & informative as well.
Nice seeing someone else hunting without a scope. Iron sights for ever!

Cousin of mine shot a fallow doe with a 375 Holland & Holland a couple of years back . There was less meat damage than when he used his 7.62x39 round.
Yep thats one of the reasons I've gone to the bigger cals ,plus never needed a second shot ever and so far no tracking DRT.:thumbsup:
