    My First Buck...

    It's probably about golf ball size. Maybe slightly bigger. But it seems to do it every time. My hunting buddy and his wife have used it for 2 years and every animal has the same hole. Entry and exit holes are solid every time. I was using an accubond for years and the hole it created is nothing like this VLD. Almost lost a 100" deer because the accubond was going straight threw deer with hardly any damage, no blood trail. The VLD damages. I'll take the chance of meat damage over a lost deer all day.

    My First Buck...

    ....ok, well not really. But maybe my favorite! Got him on our first evening out. 560 yds with a 7mm, 168 berger vld. This round leaves holes...of the large variety!! Big thanks to my coues slaying brochacho, Mr. Long. Couldn't have done this one without you! We'll laugh at this one looking back at it years from now.

    Does Working Out Help You Hunt Better?

    IMO the most important factor in being successful at taking big animals is time spent in the field. Time in the field before and during your hunt. Being in shape undoubtedly helps you stay in the field longer without discomfort. Not saying being in shape makes you a better hunter. Plenty of fat dudes are great hunters and plenty of Cameron Hanes wannabes can't hunt. But being in shape definitely makes it more comfortable to be whatever kind of hunter you are for a longer period of time. Even a broken clock is right twice a day!

    Cow harvested in 3C

    300 grain bullet...wowsers!! What caliber?

    Bullet selection

    I said for years that id never switch from the accubond. That's cause I used 180 grains on everything and notta single animal took a step after being hit with it. However, I started noticing that there was also never much damage to the animals, which was great as long as they drop in their tracks. Not great if you're trying to track. Maybe it's just me but it seemed like the Accubonds were going straight through the deer. Saw what the Berger vlds do to a deer and I'm switched for good. That vld can leave a massive hole. Almost lost a 100"+ wt last year cause there was zero blood after being hit with an accubond. I'll take some meat damage from a vld over that scenario any day!
