Speaking of bang flops. The very first deer that I ever shot in my life was a doe. She was perfectly broadside at about 100 yards and I put a 12 gauge Remington slug right through her spine, mid ship. Totally trashed the back straps. But it flipped her so hard, she literally rolled midair, and landed with her feet sticking straight up in the air. It was comical. The second bang flop on a deer that I experienced was on a spike buck that was about 15 yards from my stand and I shot him with a Remington 12 gauge three inch magnum triple-Ought buck shot. He didn't even flinch after hitting the ground.
My Ruger M77 MKII 7mm Rem mag has bang flopped a Mulie and a TN whitetail buck.
My first deer with a bow was a totally different experience. I was using my Martin Cheetah compound at 63 Lbs pull, using a 2213 whackmaster arrow with a 125 grain Ted Nugent series Magnus two blade broad head. At 25 yards, I put the arrow right behind her left shoulder. The arrow exited the right side right where her tan and white fur met and stuck in the ground about a yard or two behind her. She was nibbling on an old corn stalk when I shot her. When the arrow hit her, she flinched, crouched for a second as if posing to run, but she froze there for a second. She looked around trying to figure out what happened. After a few tense moments, she relaxed and went right back to nibbling on the corn stalk, with a crimson trail streaming down her side, she didn't even know the kid was in town! After about 30-40 seconds, she started acting nervous and started walking away. That's right, walking. She literally walked thirty yards and fell over dead. It was the most awesome kill on a deer that I had ever made. The bow had been signed by my buddy, Ted Nugent earlier that same year. I still think that was the magic that made my bow kill so awesome. LOL!
