I see what you're saying Skeeter,

Actually every shot can have it's pros and cons. Some deer can be easy to put down, hit another deer in that same spot and off it goes. If you bag a lot of deer in your lifetime, you get to see it all, some deer even suprise you with their stamina and will to live.

There is no magic bullet to this, and issues like these will be debated on this board 'til the end of time. Which caliber is better? Which bullet brand is better? Which grain weight of bullet, pointed, roundnose or flat, and where is best to shoot a deer?
