My wife's cousin saw a "puff" on the doe's shoulder when I took the shot, and it was certainly acting like it's shoulder was broken. Of course, now we will never know for sure.....we thought it was a solid hit and was a dead deer. We waited a while to retrieve it because there were other deer that didn't spook in the area, and he was still waiting for one to come in range.
Like I said, next time I will use a 180 grain bullet or go back to using my 870. This was the first deer I've lost, hopefully it doesn't happen again.
