About 2 months ago I finished off a Blacktail deer hit by a car.
1 shot at the base of the skull from about 6" with a .380 shooting 90 grain Speer Gold Dots.
Instant death. The eyes were "bugged" out of the sockets. More hydrostatic shock than I expected.
I was impressed with the "lights out" instant kill.
For up close the .380 will "get 'er done"
