I got a call later, the bullet certainly wasn't an all-copper .30 Barnes, it was a big, fat mushroomed hollowpoint with a lead core, just like what I was using. Can't wait to get it back!

That is why you should not take a shot when there is another animal behind the one you are taking.

He told me to because they still have more tags and a double wouldn't be a problem. Otherwise, you're right of course!

Just so you know the Department of Parks and Wildlife would have a problem with it.

Very cool, great job skinning it too. I still am 0 for 3 on deer.

So much is wrong with this, I suppose what bothers me most is that this guy thinks it is funny.

It's was a copper jacket. I will weigh it later and try to figure out where it came from. So definitely not from our gun, but I don't think its from Ron's gun either... And there wasn't a deer directly behind his doe, so I told him to take the shot. And we did find it funny to find an extra bullet in a deer, not funny haha , but funny strange. Just as my son's buck had a broadhead in it from a year or so ago from some other hunter, fully healed over. Found that funny (odd) also. The deer here are consistently in herds of 10 to 50 deer, so rarely are they willing to separate from the herd and stand in front of a berm..

Ron made a fantastic shot offhand and shaking on his first big game animal. Congrats... And to process the meat yourself is a large undertaking, gotta give you credit for that also.

I'm jealous. I've gone all the way to Ohio and not even had a chance to put sights on a deer.... :-(

Sent from my teepee using smoke signals.

I haven't seen the bullet yet, but if it's mine it will be near 210 grains, .44 caliber, nickle plated copper jacket, lead cored, have a deep concaved base, and "should" be mushroomed and intact, not all blown up. AFAIK.

There's certainly way too many deer in the hills east of Parker, but there's also assloads of homes out there. So it's certainly possible the bullet found in that doe may have already been there. If it's not a .44 Silvertip then it ain't mine.

I don't think Bernie has the bullet yet, all either of us have is this photo from the other guy. I don't really think it's mine, but can't tell from this photo.

I'd say the concave base should be a definitive characteristic, along with the .44 diameter. This is what I used.

You guys are using your guns for all the wrong reasons.. they're not for hunting don't you know!
