Story - 2009 Highline Pistol Doe

I was sitting in a tree with the 7mm waiting for some deer to walk by. I had a doe walking perpendicular to me at about 100 yards. I was going to follow her with the crosshairs and try to shoot her, but I decided to hold the crosshairs still and shoot when she walked through them. I shot and she ran off into the pine field. I called Robert to come help me. After getting down and looking, we couldn't find any blood. Robert made a loop into the pines to see if he could find anything. I looked to my left and saw her about 30 yards away staring at me. I pulled up the 7mm and shot for the neck. She fell, but got right back up and started running perpendicular to me with both front legs tucked under. I pulled out the pistol and shot a couple times. One hit her in the chest and we found the bullet lodged in the opposite shoulder. It hadn't expanded like it was supposed to. It crumpled thef front corner and tumbled, but it did the job.
