No we have smaller bodied deer with much larger antlers than anything that has lived in virgina. As a matter of fact Virginia must suck, terribly small deer.
Oops! Me thinks I struck a nerve with this here Texan

....However if youve ever seen one used correctly I do not think youd have the oppinion you do on a 243. I do not think u can tell me that 100 grain soft point out of a 243 will kill a deer everytime if you put it where its supposed to be.
....However, lets forget all about muzzle energy this, sectional density that, and think about the 243's on game (deer) preformance. Ive only really dropped 4 big game animals in my life. Two of those were with a 243.
Wow, now there's a wealth of experience to base opinions on! Four head of big game dropped, and two of those with a 243 = He's an Expert!!!
Oops. Now he goes an apologizes? TexHook, you're taking all the fun out of it
