I have an uncle who used to 'hunt' deer at night with a 22lr and a spotlight. (Yeah, he's one of those. ) He said he'd put one just below the ear, and they'd drop like a box of rocks. I haven't talked to him for several years, no idea if he's still doing it.

Another uncle, now retired sheriffs deputy. I went out with him on my grandparents farm with one day. He took his 4" 686. He fell asleep under a tree, and got woken up by a doe in his face sniffing at him. (He snores like a freight train, and figured she was curious about all the noise!!) Anyway, he slowly pulled his gun out of his holster and shot her under the jaw and out thru the top of her head.

Several calibers mentioned so far that are on the rare side!

I'm surprised by the number of 22s, though. They aren't legal for big game here.
