Ouch! Hope yer feelin better today. Good luck.Saw no deer . I discoveted gravity again today . Ice , snow , water , and damp branches under wet leaves . Oh look im walkin on the sky....then a violent thud . Knocked lens covers off scope , only found one. Rifle bounced off ground , and the tweety birds were in weird harmony.........wow!!!! Thought i saw jupiter.... , this is gonna really hurt tomorrow . Bruised bones on left shin , landed on right shoulder and rigbt side of head and neck ontop of logs . Hunting by yourself isnt a great idea always .... Even jarred my over bore size conical off the charge . Its fairly tite too .Super 91 seems ok but who knows . I know the walk out was S---L---O---W . This one hurt .
Found the" bull of the woods " funnel today too . He really moves throught there heavy . Hoof prints the size of my 2xl fists . Hes a heavyweight bruiser !!!

That was more than likely a cat. Coyotes it seems like, if there’s more than one involved, scatter them from hell to breakfast. I shot a small buck several years ago right about dark. Cleaned him out and then hung him in a tree by his horns, was gonna go back in the morning and haul him out. Dang cougar ate half of him and covered him in dirt. Really ticked me off cause it was kind of a long hike in there. In Utah, I think the cats get as many as the coyotes.I feel your pain Ed. I shot a small doe along with another(we can kill two in one day this year). I couldn't find that deer to save me, no blood, nothing. I knew it was hit hard, mule kicked an ran into heavy brush/briars. It got dark an was cold so decided to try next morning. I found what was left of it, both hind legs an side were gone an whatever varmit it was had scratched leaves/brush on top of it to try to hide it. Still upset with myself for giving up on it...Its to the point now you can't leave a deer overnight!
Thanks muzzy but as it turns out Mr Big was a no.show . Mighty Whitey was READY too !!! What a difference a new flash hole is !!! WOW !!!! Made a stop for 3 shots at a local range by Milan and all 3 were in one ragged hole @100yds . Spare plugs will be ordered after New Years too !!! NO MORE PANIC ATTACKS !!!Let me know when you get that big boy. I come help ya drag it out of their. Don't want you getting more hurt.
I wouldnt mind full.length penetration honestly Ed . Sometimes ive had to take shots i normally wouldnt just to Have a shot at the end of a week long hunt !!! If that 410 is shooting one ragged hole @100 with 90gr T7 3f wouldnt you call that SWEET !!!You may find your sweet spot to be around 70-80gr if 777-3F or Swiss. I wouldn’t worry about a 400gr lead conical being explosive on deer. You may find on a frontal shot it may travel the whole length of the deer and possibly exit??

Supposed to lay around with foot up in air . Looks like a tree trunk only red and shiney . Sore with lightening strikes too . Got good news too . Ran out of blood pressure pills Christmas eve and he said my bp was textbook normal , took it 3 times cuz he couldnt believe it !!! No more bp pills for me !!!! Wa--hoo !!!!Saw no deer .
