That's when you bone them out and make sausage right on the spot!

Travis,
One of those knee jerk comments that sounded funnier in my head than in print. The Bible says the tongue is a fire, a world of iniquity. Who can tame it? I sometimes struggle with that. Probably not the only one.
Thanks for some clarity.

Last season I took a buck with a 240gr XTP - HP.  Left my rifle barrel at about 1675 and hit the deer 60 yards later.  The bullet was recovered under the skin on the opposite side weighing 184gr.  Depending on hwo close you were to the target the bullet may or may not hold up at those speeds.  Hope that helps.

Hell, I'm even worse about it.
