Lol right. I've hunted whitetails all my life. I used to grab something different about every time I went out, depending on season. I liked to experiment, and was always looking for something better. These days my caliber choices are pretty dang boring.

You need a 7mm-08

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.

I killed at least 2 dozen with 22lr stangers before i was 16. Daylight.
Get used to popping coons in the head at top of tree and headshots on deer is candy.

Years ago I really wanted one, it seemed perfect for deer. A buddy of mine had one and he loved it. For whatever reason I never ended up owning one. It would be even better today with the bullets we have now. Hmmm......maybe I need a new 7-08

 

[Sierra Hunter]

I’ve shot deer with a lot of your normal cartridges and bullets so I’ll just list the odd ones:

221 Fireball
9mm Glock 43
300 Savage

Glock 43. Road deer need to be euthanized ?
