I shoot a 30-06 rifle.. and I hit one monster buck in the left hoove.. Darn thing made it too.. didnt die or nuthinnnnn.. I'm going to switch to a 7mm or a grenade launcher nowwwww..

Ummmm sometimes you need to take the blame off the EQUIPMENT and look at the tool behind the weapon. i'm sure you're friend figures NONE of the blame was that he hit the deer in one of the worst possible spots, fixed head, expandable head, or exploding head, I dont care. You hit the shoulder 9 times out of 10 you're in deep donkey dung. For those who "blow" through shoulders, I'd like to see it.
