I’ve had dead deer run far enough to leave a 10 acre parcel after a solid hit with a .30-06.

CNS is the only sure thing in my experience.

Good point. There have been several times where I have really not wanted deer to run far. I have and also have had my son intentionally aim for where the neck and front shoulder meet. With a .40 cal 200 grain XTP traveling north of 2600 f/s from an SML, results have been spectacular.
