I like to keep range under 100mts but took a good Red Stag back in January at about 140mts with considerable hold over. Slugs still went right through the chest.
With the night gear I usually shoot for the chest, give it a minute or two and send the dog off. Thats if it didnt drop on the spot. The Red in the photo pretty much dropped where the photo was taken from about 40mts. 2 stags just walked up to me so I shot one, ten yard drag to the boat....... to hard.
