Or even deer in another part of the country that have some really massive body size in comparison to average Southern deer. When you have Bucks around that average 300+ pounds on the hoof, you want terminal performance to be excessive. Not to mention you want the deer to expire as close to the shot as possible on public land in places that have a lot of hunters and will jump on your deer and claim it as theirs. Been there, done that.
