Big...I gotta call BS on that...

See the smilies...Means I was somewhat joshing....BUT...If a hunter is truely experienced and knows his gun and load it isn't any problem dropping a deer in its tracks...Hunting in the swamps and cutovers in eastern NC I can do it anytime it needs to be done...If a hunter hasn't developed the skill level to do so then...stay off the property line....

As far as experience...I have hunted whitetails over 35 years and have killed 250-300...about 140 with the same rifle...
