    Bavarian, the .243 is the minimum stick size for beating a deer to death with.

    Jesus you guys are hard work
    There's a certain aggressive lack of reading comprehension

    Where did he say he never misses? People can miss at 20m with a 308, doesn't mean you can't kill deer reliably with one.

    Just to bring a variation to the forum, has anyone shot and killed deer with buckshot, I fired 4 shots with a 12 gauge pump with 3 inch buckshot, at 3 hinds close together from 70 meters and got nothing, is this the norm?

    Be a bit far maybe? I've only used it on a turkey at 50m, 3 shots only one pellet in it.

    Seriously? If so, yup, its the norm. I have killed and seen a few shot, with buckshot. TBF 20-25m max, for any real consistency at all. Thats down to pattern. A pellet would kill a deer at 70 if it sconed it, but as you found out it is unlikely.

    #6 is good, but only on headshots and only if you don't want the head

    At 70m that's probably quite normal

    I can count quite easily how many deer and the like animals I have body shot in my life. Is a head shot ethical? Meat shooting demanded it if you wanted to get paid.

    I like headshots. I think I've only ever fucked up 2.
