I shot from a pod, so the shot was practically benchrest. If the scope's not off, you're idea may be just what happened.

What kept me awake last night was that maybe I had not missed the big buck at all and had made a twofer. He looked healthy to me when he ran off, and the neck shot usually either misses clean or drops'em in their tracks.

I didn't try to track the big one. I guess the buzzards will tell me this weekend...Geo
