Interesting read. I just came upon it. I've never hunted deer with buck. I did however crumple a lioness back in the 90's in Zim with 12ga 3inch #1 Winchester XX magnum. That was a long time ago. A so called "buddy" winged her and she came on. Broken front shoulder and not very fast. PH shot, I shot. PH was a nano second faster than me. I think his 458 Lott did it, but, the buck hit her full force in the chest.
