As luck you have it Murphy rears his ugly head .. Shot a deer Wed evening (approx 160-170 lbs ) .. 15 to 20 MPH winds approx 220 yds and I forgot to compensate for the wind ..directly 90 degrees from my stand
I steady for shot .. deer moves, wind is blowing, I forget the wind and hit the front of rear hind quarter,, BT does its job deer goes down like hit with a sledge hammer and gets up and lopes off 40 yds and drops dead..
Feel like a real heel for making such a bad shot did recover the deer and really did not waste as much meat as I figured .. Just lucky it was on the front of the hind quarter
