TP, I am sure you look at the .223 as an awesome deer rifle in Tx.. But deer are different else where, and not shot over a pile of corn.. I shot a couple in south Tx. meat does, my pal said shot that one it is a big one.. When i got to it I thought I shot a fawn, he said no that is a bit doe.. My golden retrievers and lots bigger than that big doe.. A ,223 would have worked, I have shot coyotes almost as big...
