My son missed a 4 x 4 mule deer at about 400 yards. He's 13 and this was his first hunt. Probably my fault, a little buck fever and a think I forgot to adjust the scope up. Pretty sure it hit low. I took a shot a about 120 yards staring straight at the front of the deer. The bullet was an ELD X 90 gr. at 3000 fps muzzle. The bullet separated from the jacket and I didn't find any lead. Not surprised. Impact was on the right side and went through the lung into the belly. He jumped and then went down immediately.
