I took a Whitetail doe yesterday evening at about 35 yards with a 16" AR using 75gr. TAP. Heart shot and she ran uphill about 35-40 yards in a gnarly cedar thicket and fell dead. 5.56 most certainly did the job, but that small exit wound made tracking of blood sign difficult at best, with the only blood having been at the sight of the impact and where we ultimately found her balled up. I saw a very nice 8 pointer yesterday morning but he was at about 105 yds walking dead away and I did not have a stable rest from which to shoot, nor did I want to chance a,"Texas Heart Shot" with the 5.56 . This was my first deer, and she field dressed out at #65. Unfortunately no Pics.
Good times,
Blake
