    Always do your own testing, TRUST ME, experience is the best teacher! Good job looks just about right for what "you're " doing.

    Never thought of that, I'll have to practice up on my fence post shooting, if I could just see one at 61 yds!

    Any time a hunter/shooter/caster/loader takes a bare naked, portable handgun and harvests game, I am impressed! Well done!

    I looked but didn't find it, I'm not much of a coroner I guess. I know it didn't exit but after looking for a while I gave up, not one of my favorite things to do after looking for a while. I still have one more antelope tag but I'll probably use a different caliber, that's what makes it fun.

    Sometimes I go back to gut pile, after coyotes have cleaned it up, with a metal detector. Most times they leave the slug on the ground intact but have seen them chewed on��. Also works on the boned out skeleton. Found many lead sheds that way.

    Better not tell the eco crazies. A gut pile is a radioactive death trap for animals, especially condors.

    I put my guts where the chickens and cats get them. Haven't had one die yet. At least not from eating lead.

    Recovered these from a cadaver creature. Coyotes had them well chewed up. They must’ve survived because I didn’t find any dead ones laying near by!

    Sixshot: I got one of those Boone &Crockett "T" posts with a bow one time. I was watching the orange nock on the arrow head for the deers ribcage and then plink! The arrow did a hard right turn. It'll make you say huh?!
