How do you shoot deer with a .22? Between the eyes when spot lighting of course. How do you kill a deer with a .380? Must be massive Me.
I shot too many deer in PA archery hunting that had healed in .22 bullets on the rib cage from butt wipes to even consider the stupidity. I have seen too many deer lost with 30 and 7mm mags but some will say a .22 mag is best. Yeah between the eyes with a light. Darn sure a .22 mag will kill a deer but you better see it fell.
Who would I hunt with? Whitworth and JWP for sure even if we have issues. Issues are not important enough to me.
I will never condone toys for deer. I do not condone head shots either. Most of you can't hold 4" at 25 yards yet claim to shoot deer in the brain.
Am I enamored with a guy shooting a deer with a .380, no a fool with 100% luck.
