My first buck 35 years ago. M1 Garand @ 125 yds. Square in the chest. I thought I had missed. Went to check after it ran, and found no blood. Walked back tonmy stand which was to the side of where it ran. After a half hour I thought I would go to the trail it was on, and see if there was a blood trail later. As I got to the woods line about 50 yards from my stand I saw it laying under a big Cedar that was blockng my view. From where I shot it had ran only 75-100 yards, and dtopped. Took out the heart, and pieces of both lungs.
