Well, *most* of my "drop 'em" shots were neck or head shots, but I have
had several others. The most memorable one ...
I hit a small forked horn behind the shoulder at about 30 yards with a
7mm-08 Rem model 7 using a Nosler 140 Solid Base (not B.T.). Not so
much as a twitch. This was a "slam to the ground," though uphill.
This shot stands out in my mind particularly because the entrance hole
was about 2" in diameter and the exit quite tiny. If I didn't know
better, I'd have mistaken the exit for entrance and entrance for exit,
but I know which way the deer was facing and that just isn't the answer.
