I hunt mornings in the woods (open pines with hard woods) longest shot possible maybe 75 yards. In the evenings I hunt fields (longets shot that I would take is 200 yards, however, fields is close to 400 yards). As stated before the deer I took in the morning was at 15 yards, I used a Winchester 95 gr. Ballistic silver tip, hit the deer just behind the shoulder blade, this deer ran over 100 yards thru the woods (finally dropped after jumping creek), when found part of lung was hanging out the exit wound. The second deer was shot inthe evening at 45 yards with Hornady 100gr Light mags BTSP. This deer was also hit in the shoulder but dropped right there (no complaint). The next deer was the same day just before dark (545 pm), this deer was also hit with the Hornady light Mag 100 gr. BTSP, however, after hit jumped straight up and ran out of my sight (the field is like a T) this deer was hit at 125 yards give or take. Lost this one, almost no blood trail and darkness.
