Finally got the video done. I wish I had kept the gun up a little longer.

It's always tough to lose and animal. Fortunately, I have yet to not recover a deer, but I have lost small game and it never ceases to make me sick with myself.
Difficult to tell by the video, but by the way the deer reacted, it does look like a front shoulder hit. Even a walking deer makes for a more difficult target. Next time try a short, sharp whistle or "grunt" just before you take the shot. This technique will often stop the animal long enough to get a cleaner shot at a still target.
What are the specs on the bullet/load of the Blackout? speed? bullet weight, etc.?
Oh, and killer beard!
