Nothing wrong with passing up a shot. I do it 10 times more than I do taking a shot.

One of the biggest buck I have ever seen only presented only an azz shot as after I jumped him out of his bed. I passed on the shot as I would have ruined a lot of premium eating. He was 30"+ and I am sure would have scored close to 200. He lived to pass on his genes as I just couldn't do it!

In defense of Texans..... I've lived and hunted in Texas all of my life. I never heard of the "Texas heart shot" until the internet allowed me to interact with folks from faraway lands. Everybody I know passes when a butt is all they have to shoot at. Seems like it should be named "Yankee heart shot" or "California heart shot" or something more descriptive of the locale of its use and origin.![]()
Well another Mule Deer fell to Noslers BT. I have nothing but good things to say about them Quality bullet just use them at the recommend velocity on there web site. I'm pushing a 264 Win Mag 120 gr.BT at 3225 FPS like I said before one shot one Deer again this fall shot between 200 & 250 just a point and shoot no rangeing. I had complete passthrough on a quarting away shot about 22 inches plus penetration and still going.
I think I may need to check into new bullets instead of the over the counter Hornady IB. Your brother told me you liked Nosler, 1100 Remington Man. Wish I could have hunted with you all this past season. I had a good time last year hunting with you all. Sounds like you all had a good time this year.![]()
