First shot went center of ribs, a touch higher than I’d prefer. Only about 1/4 of the on-side lung was left. The other lung was bloodshot. Buck dropped at the shot. I picked up my brass and he was trying to run away and second shot hit the paunch, and passed through. He was a mess inside. It was raining so hard, I didn’t take the time to investigate further than that.
