This nice little doe was taken by my niece yesterday evening. She was using my brother's Texan .45 shooting cast Lee 45-70 button collar bullets at approximately 375fpe. Shot distance was approximately 50 yards or a bit more. The scope was a Pixar N550. Picture quality of the shot is a bit low because I didn't show my brother, who was sitting with my niece, how to adjust the picture thru the scope for her and it was still daylight when the doe was shot so the IR wasn't on.

Congrats to your niece Travis. That slug definitely looks like it went left of the crosshair placement. But at least you recovered the deer.
