Entangled bucks in a garden. Humane dispatch, cast bullet

Yesterday I got a call to deal with two fallow bucks tangled together in someone’s garden.

One turned out to be dead already but the other was thrashing about intermittently and was able to drag the other deer short distances.

Although it was a rural location there were three neighbouring properties, horses and a public bridleway to consider.

Discreet humane dispatch with cast, subsonic 240gr N.O.E. Bullet, suppressed/moderated 300Blackout.

Thanks for posting that. Great pics that can basically speak for themselves.

Not too many people showing what a cast bullet can do, what was the shot distance?

What coating was on the one you used, looks like it all was scraped off.

Only Alox on the one I used (I’ve been powder-coating them for a while but still had some of the Alox-lubed ones loaded up.
