This could have been the click bait- 193 yard shot on 7 point!
So now that my rant is off- this thanksgiving morning I made 193 yard shot on a nice 7 point . At the shot he took two jumps walked about 50 feet and laid down.

Man the possibilities if I wasn’t handicapped by stupid slug rules in lower MI the first 20 years of my hunting !
Congratulations and definitely something to be thankful for!
As for activity. Eleven years ago, the caliber was relatively new and there were many "stones to turn over". Nowadays, the caliber is fairly mature and aside from the occasional new bullet or magazine introduction, there's not nearly as many stones that need turning over.
We still have stupid slug rules in the southern half of Minnesota and no straight wall cartridge rifle exceptions. My sources tell me that they are under consideration by the DNR, so possibly in the near future. Keeping our fingers crossed.
