270 WIN. BARNES TRIPLE-SHOCK X BULLET hunt report

[fr0sty]

I used this round for the 2012 deer season. The shot was about 80-90 yards from an elevated blind. I would say gun height was about 12 feet or so. The deer was off to my right, so I guess that would make it slightly quartering to. The small red X is where he was. He came from the right and stepped into the trail.

The shot went into the front left scapula and broke the spine where the ribs meet it. The deer dropped right there. I could find no exit wound in the far side hide after skinning it. There was a lot of blood mess on the far side hide around the rear end. There was a noticeable amount of blood shot and small holes in both side's roasts. One hole (on the far side) was finger sized. So far I have found no bits of the round. Not sure where they ended up.
