you guys must hunt under pristine conditions and nothing like a walking deer in early light ever happened to you, so you can post your "don't shoot trees" comments. Reality sucks outside the campfire and the internet, sh-t does happen and if the deer is walking at the edge of a thicket, sh-t is more likely to happen, or you could just let him walk. I chose to shoot.

Now back to the original question, just for the fun of it, do you think your 75Amax or 77TMK would make it through a 1 inch sapling into a deer neck as well as a 150 grain 308 bullet would?
