looks like most had a good season this year and for some it an't over yet. and from what we been reading some had some trying moments. i always like reading the post reguardless of subject matter or whatever. well the most common thing besides guns seems to be bullet type and i can tell you i'm glad i an't a deer. deer are a easy kill most of the time you just put a chunk of lead through their heart/lung/spine/head/big blood vein ect. the trick is to find a chunck of lead/copper that your gun can put in the same place every time and to do this you must make your firearm do this. once you master the shot its up to the shot itself thats where the bullet comes into play, and i can say for 100% sure that it don't make a hill of beans what bullet you use they all work. a hollow point that explodes inside a deer means a dead deer if in the vitals, a soild bullet that goes through the good stuff means death. there is no #1 bullet there is no #1 load thats the beauty of ml it all works just learn where your gun shoots the bullet and learn to put that bead on the target.
