Haloween Dog

Trying to post picture for first time, hope it works right.
A buddy and I went calling last Monday, Halloween day. This one came in after about 20 minutes. I shot it at about 40 yds. with my Rem. 700 SPS .204 with 49 gr. V-Max. Hit him center of left shoulder, made about a 6" entrance, took out the whole shoulder, shoulder blade was completely gone, just bone fragments. He dropped right in his tracks, kicked once and DRT. Fawn killer down.

Sorry, hit a wrong key. That's supposed to be 40 gr. V-Max.
