Thread: .223 can knock over a stag?

kinda gotta be a good shot for it to be successful tho but yea 223 is enough
learn the deer anatomy and where it will die when you shoot it and it will be fine
I nailed a 120 pound pig with my 22 with 42grain subs two months back but it was standing side on at 40m and I can thread a needle with that rifle
pig dropped on the spot
deer would do the same if you have cut enough of them up to know where their spine is and sever it with the shot
dont try for a head/brain shot and dont shoot at anything moving, and if you are not confident pass on the shot and stalk closer
and yea iv lost count of how many bricks of 22 ammo iv been thru so shoot frequently and know your rifle
