This was about 10 years ago. Doe whitetail, Marlin Guide Gun 45-70, 405gr mold cast at 436 with a mild load of 4227, DRT. This is the entry side. I lost the picture of the exit but basically flip it with less bloodshot and further forward. This was after laying on the entry side for about 2 hours while I looked for her friend that I believe tried to cross a creek in the swamps and got swept away. I never found that one unfortunately and later found that the front sight had shifted. It wears Skinner's now.
