We've not caught a bullet in about a 1/2 doz deer and a pronghorn. All of exited and they appear to expand regardless of hitting bone or thick muscle. This deer made it the furthest after the shot, about 70yds. Didn't look for blood at the shot site, but found it easily enough where he jumped...

Best thing for me is to have a meat thermometer and to use it. Cook to temps and...
I could like having some pigeons if I had the place for them. A conservation club I used to belong to had some homers for dog training. Me, the boys, and Hank got a kick out of getting them out of the loft then putting them out for Hank to point.
In training Hank, I want some pigeons to shoot...
I had both a male and female in the freezer to get mounted. Funds did not allow and I had a freezer mishap. Quite regret not getting those two mounted.
