What’s your go-to for “Straight Wall” season?

350 legend with Barnes ammo. With a long and liberal season, crop damage permits, and mentor hunts, I've taken a large number of deer without any issue. If it ain't broke, don't fix it.

How do the animals react? Do they run or just drop? Shot placement? Etc.

Always looking for something better - shooting FTX 165s and 50% drop, 50% run w rib shots.

I’ve always used the 450 Bushmaster with great success but this year I tried a 350 Legend for the first time. Buck dropped and flopped around for maybe 10-15 seconds. Pretty much perfect performance from the 140 HV Bear Creek.

I picked up a Henry 360 buckhammer and really like it so far. I’ve only shot one doe, but she died right there

I was hearing that there's some sort of scope issue (position). Did you experience that? I really want to see the round take off before I get on board. Something cool about a lever action
