2 essential requirements here. One is to be able to sneak up close enough to get a lethal shot which is well under 100 yards. Two, is to be able to shoot well enough to hit it in the brain, as there is a lot of deer there to just put holes in that won't result in a dead deer.

I was using handloaded 85 grain hollow points. The gun is a HK P-7 k3 which is quite accurate and I had no doubt I could hit the deer in the brain...
