On top of a spectacular bird, the band has a pellet scar. I don't know why I am so intrigued with pellet scars. They are just kewl.

Can you take a better pic if the pellet scar? I am also curious as to how far the bird and what load you used. I know, I am weird.

I was specifically looking for angle of pellet impact, speed and pellet size. So #4, I got. What I am getting at is depending on angee of impact, I wanted to see how bad that pellet dented that band. I have seen them embedded into the band before.

Yeah, don't listen to me. I'm just an idiot.
Lol. Duckbill that was funny! The dude up top has already taken lots of bone before this deer, both mule and whitetail.

Awesome
One of the 2 bands i have was of a snow goose shot in china texas in 2005, banded in churchill manitoba in 1989
Which is pretty old
Tracked the band down to a guy who banded it as a school project. He now works at a new york science museum
I still talk to him yearly and shot some ducks with him last year in illinois
Cool story Beaver!
Say When.....

I have seen them embedded into the band before. It is the cross over twix a hunter and a CSI guy. The hunter in me wants to know the ballistics upon impact. The CSI in me wants to know angles ect. Ex: I could see a pellet had hit the band and one in the neck. Was the pellet scar from that shot that killed it or was it corroded? If corroded it would suggest another shot the bird but was very unfortunate. That kind of stuff is kewl.

my only band has a pellet scar, not sure if it was from my shot or someone didn't realize how close they were but that's the story I usually tell!
Arise.Kill.Eat -Acts 10:13 I have read a bunch of stuff on the internet about Star Wars but that does not mean I can skin a deer with a light saber.
