[QUOTE="Thorgrim, post: 919652, member: 869"] Sounds like you missed. I shot a big doe this season with my Tikka .243 using Win. Bal. Silvertip. I shot through the lungs. The bullet passed between the ribs on both sides without expanding. There was still a good blood spray pattern + hair at the point of impact. There was a blood trail for about 50-75 yards before plugging up. The deer traveled about 150-200 yards total. Even if you made a belly/high back shot there should be some sign. Maybe you need to spend some time actually holding your scope on deer that you don't intend to shoot, just to calm your nerves. Double check your rifle too. [/QUOTE]
