Sir Ron, no telling what feasts upon prime immobile venison at night.

I suppose this is where I have to question, is a 458 Winchester adequate for use as a whitetail stopping cartridge 😂 ??

I see on the Hammer site where there were a couple of folks seemingly concerned they did not have immediate drop on the spot shots, on deer. Heck, some were surprised at the animal moving less than 50 yards.
Edit: This was with smaller caliber fast moving bullets.

My take is if the bullet did its job, and poi was suitable, the reaction / action is animal specific. Some animals just do not give up, and distances traveled are impressive considering damage done.
