Shot this guy last night in the last few seconds of shooting light. Hit him in the heart/lungs with a Lee 170 ACWW over 21 grains of 2400 in the 30-06 for around 1800 fps. Shot was close, only around 15-20 yards. He tore off across a hayfield and jumped a fence before piling up around 100-125 yards away from where he was hit. That's the farthest I have one run with this load. Amazing how far the can go with a quarter of their heart missing. Closer inspection revealed a deformed jaw and the slightest bit of piebald on his chest and front legs, what some people call a Dork deer. First time I have seen anything like it. Didn't seem to bother him too much, but now he is out of the gene pool and in my freezer!
