I killed my first deer as a wee lad with a Model 7 .222. Based on this experience, I concluded the .222 is capable of killing deer. My boys will use this .222 when they start carrying a rifle and looking for their first deer. If you believe a heavier caliber is needed, please don't report me to CPS.
As our own mule deer often points out, why is it only women and children can kill deer with little cartridges?
Yep, these threads are always fun...
I hope everybody caught Aussie Gunwriters post on culling red deer with the deuce....
They are usually a tad bigger than mule deer........
