I shot my buck this year high and hit him in the backbone. I was shooting downhill and once the bullet struck the Backbone it angle'd straight down poped out his breastbone. The bullet did not exit though. I was shooting a .280 with a 150 grain bullet I believe might have been 160. The backbone was fragmented pretty bad, with lots of bone chips.
