[QUOTE="backyardtndeer, post: 5776750, member: 16465"] Have had a similar experience, also with a .270. In my early years of hunting, I took a shot on a deer that was running and blew his front legs practically off. He pushed himself into the bottom on his chest. Didn't take me long to find him, there was a lot of blood. He was laying there in some willows and looking me straight in the eyes when I raised up my rifle and was still looking at me before I shot him in the neck. Luckily that ended it, but it made me feel horrible and I have never taken a swinging shot again. I had never had anyone take me hunting as a kid and really didn't know any better, learned on my own and that was a definite learning experience about the fourth year into my hunting. The only way I would shoot a moving deer after that was by picking a spot ahead of it and squeezing the split second the deer's vitals presented in my scope crosshairs. [/QUOTE]
