Still hunted into this fellow 12/30 on some of our local public lands.

Shot was 30 yards. Hit him just inside the shoulder as he was sharply quartering to. Bullet was factory loaded Barnes 115 Tac-TX from a Howa Mini 20".
He ran 100 yards straight downhill into a field of logging slash.
I did not immediately see an exit, and had to rush to drag him a mile and a half to the car to get him to the butcher and before closing.
The bullet destroyed one and a half of his lungs, and a piece of something lacerated one of the chambers of his heart. Chest cavity forward of diaphragm was just full of blood.
No blood trail to speak of (I assume because I aimed a bit high).
Believe he only got as far as he did because gravity was carrying him.
