I agree with blackheart, the only deer I saw shot were the ones I shot in my teens.
And all I ever used was a .243, out of the 12 deer I killed with with they all
Dropped immediately with a behind the shoulder shot.

Being ignorant as hell I thought thats how it must be all the time for everyone.
That is until I started reading more hunting stories.

The first deer that ran on me was with the .270, shot behind the shoulder.
