[QUOTE="Mid-Tenn, post: 4535594, member: 16331"] Hunting with my muzzleloader, first year for the Savage Smokeless. I was in a brushy draw between two fields and shot a large 8 point. At the shot the deer kind of hunched up and ran towards the stand and stopped and just stood there confused. He looked like he was hurt but just kind of bowed up. Not sure about the shot or having a lot of confidence at the time in smokeless or the bullet combination I reloaded and put another round in him. The deer showed absolutely no indication of being hit and started speed walking towards me. As it passed about 5 yards from the stand I could see a pencil sized stream of blood pouring out the opposite side and a small tuft of hair in the middle of the ribs moving in and out with each breath. I thought, "Weird. That deer has a sucking chest wound." It kept walking and turned to go up the draw towards the field where I had parked my ATV. As it got closer to the field it started to slow to a steady walk, taking an occasional pause and dropping it's head. I yelled out, "KEEP GOING." Like it needed some kind of motivation. The deer then lifted it's head and walked maybe another fifteen yards before falling over dead almost directly next to the ATV. [/QUOTE]
