I have hunter with one many times.
I have always been a neck shooter all my life. I have not shot as many as Chance, but in the multiple hundreds (as on easily +500) of deer this way (gotta love MLD cull hunts).
I did have an instance where I had one get away. Shot it in the neck at about 30-40 yards. Knocked it over, only to have him get up and run off.
That being said, I have one do the same after shooting them with a 7mm mag. That one laid there for over an hour before it got up and ran off. Same situation where the shot was only 30-40 yards.
Moral of the story, you shoot enough deer, and you are going to have a weird situation sooner or later.
Only thing we could figure was that both of those rounds are know for speed and the short shot distances just didn’t play well with the performance of the bullets being used.

The shooting was fun but dealing with them after was not.
I try and stop at 2-3 a day now.

Had a tough time finding one from a 22-250 last year even though it didn’t go that far, no blood. Fun round.

I've been shooting deer with my 22-250 for the last 14 yrs. My FIL built one years ago and gave it to me as a birthday present.
Rem 700 action, reworked trigger set at 1.5 lbs, bull barrel and a gorgeous wood stock.
It's not light by any means, but I can consistently punch the same hole at 100 yds. I just shoot a doe in the head and they don't go anywhere.
