177 Cal Pellet Takes Deer - 09/13/06
An old acquaintence and hunter just called me. In shock.
He was trying to get a pesty deer off his lawn and away from his camp (ie lyme desease threat, spooks up his dogs and neighbors get angry, etc) so.... he took out his .177 cal, 1000 fps pellet rifle. The deer presented him with a rear view at about 50 feet... so he aimed at its rear end and hit it in the spincter. The deer dropped. In shock he didn't know what to do. He waited five minutes and went over to it and said the darn thing was dead.
In all is years of hunting he has never heard of such a thing and wondered if I could ask other deer hunters if they can explain this phenomenon.
He said the deer went about 130 pounds.
