Home Forums Hunting & Shooting Deer Hunting Goodbye 243 I'm done

I have shot one deer w .243 win. Right behind one shoulder, and out behind the other.
Did not drop at the shot.
In the elk vid posted.........the long range one...........didn't that hit the spine?
Anything folds em when ya do that.

Used .35 rem on two other deer, clipped shoulders on way through. Neither dropped at the shot.
A few w 44 magnum, one did drop.
Bunch w shotgun........only a few dropped.

As long as the deer drops nearby, I'd call it good enough. Decent red to the flop is also cool.
