Here is a 5 point I killed Yesterday. He had a weird right side. I found his right rear hoof had only had one toe. I guess that's the reason for the abnormality.

I killed him with a Savage MLII smokeless Muzzle Loader. The first kill with this rifle. 55 yard shot, he went about 60 after the hit. Bullet was a 250gr Hornady SST. They are flying up around 2350fps so they do the damage. After skinning, I found his top half heart removed and the front of his lungs turned to mush.

He was an older deer, 4 - 5 1/2 years old. He was a good one to take out of the herd. He weighed 167lbs. Good deer. Very happy hunter.
