I haven't invited him back...
Don't be so flippant about taking a doe...It should be done quickly and efficently...
We were talking about killing power of bullets. Not the value of an animal. I put more value on an animal that most. I've also never lost one.
I was talking about a doe wasn't hard to kill compared to the elk I also hunt.
A 300gr Aerolite with 80 gr of BH 209 will do just fine on a doe. I don't take 200yd shots.
I would think you'd know me by now to say i'm flippant about any animal. I'm sort of pissed at that remark.
