Or better yet actually know WTF you are talking about and do it right, and don't require a dog. Using right bullet, right placement, subsonic is no different than supersonic. Period.

I often wonder how some folks don't find deer if they don't bang flop every time......FWIW everytime I've used my lab to help find a deer, its been by supersonic loads.... once a 223, once a 7 stw, and once an 06....


Subsonic loads do not kill as well, it doesn't matter what you fairy tale you want to tell yourself, or how much you wish the laws of physics did not exist. Supersonic loads kill better on any similar shot-- period. We can can shoot unlimited deer here in my area, and I used a 300 Whisper extensively for years, and I can shoot. If you think sub sonic loads kill as well, see if you feel the same way after you shoot 100+ deer with sub sonic loads. They will kill for sure, but not consistently and reliably.
