Home Forums Hunting & Shooting Hunting Rifles Its possible that a .223 works on deer better than 30-06?

I had to let by far the biggest buck I've ever seen walk back a few years ago. I've no doubt it would go 160's(I have one on the wall that is 145" and some change and this one was much bigger) and that's real big for our farm in TN. I was bowhunting and had no shots. I never saw him again and I'm shure I never will. That's how hunting goes somethimes.
