My deer last year went about 25 yards with a 2 in. Rage. My buddy shot an antelope broadside that dropped almost on spot with the same head. Every time i hear a hunting story about a rage it always entails a deer dropping within 50 yards. Shultzy, you say you like to keep things simple. Whats more simple than not having to trail your deer all night because you put a tiny little puncture in it's lungs?
