Interesting to hear about humanly killing a deer or bear with a .22. What about that other 98% that were hit and got away? Pretty stupid.
Sir,
With regards to deer,
If they are hit with 40g solids in the right place(neck veribrae ro Brain) 100% of them DIE -right there.
It's all a matter of getting close(preferably 50 yards or less) and putting the bullet PRECISELY where it needs to go.
Such shooting is not for pikers who can barely hit the heart lung area of an animal at 100 yards.
The round is up to the job if the Marksman can make the shot.
