My ex-wife killed 4 deer, 3 does, 1 buck here in Il with my Ruger Security 6. I was handloading Blue Dot with Sierra 158 JHP's. She neck shot them and they were DRT. 1 in the ribs, and the buck she shot him just above base of tail and broke his back. Was aiming for back of his neck, was walking away. All shots were under 50yds.
