The first of a double I got this morning. Didn't notice this bullet track until we were unloading it at home. Bullet entered just above right eye, passed through his brain and exited right beneath the inside corner of his right ear before making its way down the upper edge of his right side, shaving the hair off as it went. Saw a flurry of white hair go up in the air at impact. You can straighten out the line and re-establish the exact posture he was in at the point of contact with the 55-grain VMax bullet - in the middle of full stride with the head down and aligned with the body. Thought it was cool.

That is cool. Saw a bullet line very similar once except that all the bullet had done was cut the hair like that. A miss actually. Second shot killed.

I had something like that on an animal that crossed my scent and swapped ends when he was coming fast and heading out just as fast. In this case, he was in line with the rising sun and took a bullet in the ass which folded him, but the explosion of all the fur on his back, backlit by the sunrise was awesome. First and only time that ever happened. Don't think it was shaved, must have been internal pressures, or something else?

That hide (with the straight bullet track) would make a really cool wall hanger.

That is cool, Lance! I have had this happen once on a coyote, and once on a deer. Coyote was facing me at about 50 yards with his right hip showing just a bit. I pulled the shot a bit left and the bullet ended up in his hip socket after shaving hair from his right shoulder, across his ribs and then ended up entering in front of his right flank.
The deer was walking towards me 100 yards out and was slightly below me. 140 gr. SST from a 7MM RM entered the throat just below the chin, exited between the shoulder blades and shaved the hair off the back to about 6” in front of tail…damn thing looked like a skunk.
PS: Fred it would take a Yankee from New York to bring up pinstripes... ![[Big Grin]](biggrin.gif)

I shot one of those burners like that about 7 or 8 years ago except I got a little closer to the skin. Looked like a sudden snow storm in the scope.
