The last deer I shot about 6-7 years ago, was a neck shot at around 50 yards. The deer reared up on its hind legs like a horse and collapsed dead.
A friend in PENN lung shot a buck at roughly 175 with a 35 REM.
The deer was feeding in an open field and at the shot, appeared to be unharmed and slowly walked into the forest. He found it dead just inside the tree line.
