Thread: Front on shots at Deer.

@Moa Hunter yup different thing that. there seems to be some leeway possibly depending on calibre and angle that suggests (as you discussed with me) that it is possible to put a shot square in the chest and pretty much everything other than the guts.
It would be akin to shooting it with an arrow. Bullet hasn't hit anything too major to mushroom up and make a bigger hole through everything
Nothing major hit or at least nothing bleeding quickly and no bone damage so they probably die a lot later if not found quickly.
Maybe different with an old school 303, 3006 etc that has enough mass to come out the back and smash a rear leg.
That is only a theory though
