[QUOTE="FlGunner, post: 3067631, member: 94240"] This subject can be all over place and opinions equally as well. Ultimately a good vital shot will be the best starting point for anything regardless of energy. Archery does kill with a lot less energy but big rifle energy not vitally placed doesn’t guarantee a recoverable animal. An animals will to live can vary as well. During the season I track a lot of deer for folks with my cur. All of them generally non vital hits and doesn’t matter what caliber hit them. Gut shot with 300 win mag usually equally the same result as a 243. Deer runs a few hundred yards and lays down. This is just my experience. I’ve seen some deer not hit very good at all lay down like they were in their last breath and tracked some that go a mile with most their guts left at the hit site. And most deer I track are for grown men and very few kids I’ve tracked deer for make as bad of shots ironically. I can’t tell ya how many men shot the front leg and swear they dropped him through a double lung hit just to learn the deer was hit in its knee. [/QUOTE]
