We should just chuc all these big guns in the bush. I am not saying you can't, not saying they havn't killed many. Personally I think the restrict your shots. I have been lucky, never gut shot a deer, or had a bad shot. But I am sure some day I will. If you hunt in wide open areas, it doesn't matter, let it run. But in heavily wooded areas I want every edge to get it to slow down sooner. Double lung shotss, turning lungs to mush and big exit hole and they still run. Bigger exit hole, more blood, more trauma.
Not saying the deer is not just dead, which is the common reply. I just like every edge I can. Might try a 45-70.
