I haven't read all the posts but am dumbfounded by the number of people that like to "sling lead". Whitetail deer are not that hard to kill. I have killed 100+/- deer in my 23 years of hunting and have only taken a second shot at 3 animals. My 12 year old son has killed 7 deer and never needed a second shot. If I were to need a follow up shot at over 50% of the deer that I shot at, I would have to seriously reconsider my shot placements or gun/ammo choice. As I said before, deer are not that hard to kill.
