I'd say a .223 with a decent bullet that the average shooter can get much better hits with might be a better choice.

Killed two doe's with 69gr SMK's. Both shot high in the neck and both fell in their tracks. Hey it was all I had at the time. I was spending all my money on match shooting!

You gonna murder more deer after retirement? I said I was when I stopped working but it seems I put off all manor of tasks til I had "time", I've actually hunted less after retiring....
I'm going to murder deer, trap coyotes, and catch fish.

I hope you have a long and active retirement!
