I have killed some hogs in Florida with a glock 23 with black talons. This is my first time trying whitetail with a handgun. It is a North Carolina button buck. Nothing too special. The shot was 25 yards with a stock glock 20 except for a 22 lb recoil spring. I haven't had much time to play with loads. The only bullets I have been able to get ahold of are nosler 135 jhp. I put them over 12.5 grains of bluedot. Didn't work up any load of any sort it is just a book max. Took the shot and he ran about 15-20 yards into the tree line and I heard him crash. Waited about 10minutes and went to go look for him. We'll I guess I didn't wait long enough because I kicked him up and tracked him for 50-75 yards through the thickest stuff you could imagine. There was blood everywhere including pieces of lung tissue. This second picture is the entrance hole. I will post the exit hole also. I just don't understand all the craziness people talk about with heavy hard cast bullets needed and bonded bullets. I have read many times that 135 jhp is way too light for deer. The picture I will post of the shoulder area is the entrance wound. He was shot on his left side. As you can see the bullet did massive amounts of damage early upon entry and still penitrated all the way through.  I understand this Is pretty small deer but I feel like the same thing would have happens on a big Midwestern buck. (I'm from missouri). I don't know what else you can ask for. Both the heart and lungs were destroyed and a blood trail a blind man could follow. All I'm saying is I think people get too worked up about what bullet at what velocity is used. Especially a lot of internet experts. I don't mean any offense to anyone by that statement. All I'm saying is if you put a bullet where it is supposed to be and it reaches the vitals, it is going to die.  I hope theses  results and pictures are informative for you.

Photobucket has a mobile app. It's like an album, within an album, and can be synchronized with the online account. I've been using it for a few months, and it works as advertised. And, it's free.

I am computer/phone illiterate. Is there someone I can email them to who could post them for me?

It will be a learning experience and may actually save some of your photos or videos should you loose a computer drive or phone...After you set up an account "free up to a certain size file storage" you will see just how easy thinks work out!

Thanks a lot for the help intercooler.

No problem. I don't know what the best Deer round is. My guess on the hoopla is using the best perceived round for a humane kill. Search here for .45 Magnum for Moose video I posted.  Sad!

I searched and can't find anything about that. What should I type into the text box?
