[QUOTE="Rustystud, post: 643478, member: 9964"] When hunting if the hunter has a good broad side shot almost any bullet will provide a killing shot. However we don't always have a perfect broadside shot and if we do we don't always hit exactly where we hold. I have seen thousands of whitetails shot. Including deer with their heart completely exploded that ran 100 yards before expiring. I have always prefered a lung shot over anything else. I have quit eating deer shoulders and wathced keenly at deer shot inthe shoulder. If the shoulder is shot where both shoulders and the spine are effected the deer drop like that were hit by a Kenworth. But if the shot is no spot on the deer is off to the races he will die but in what county. Having personally varvested deer with rifles from 22 rimfire to a 458 Lott I have come to the conclusion controlled expansion bullets give the best overall results. I like a entrance and exit would. The deer dies from physiological, hydrologic, and hemoragenic shock. A deer that can not breath and can not run is a deer that is harvested. Hunting deer in the southeast is much different than hunting in the west. Shots may be much closer but the thick vegetation can provide a hiding place within feet of where the bullet contacts the game. Quick dispatchment is a must both for insured recovery and the ethicalness of the hunt. Nat Lambeth [/QUOTE]
