well I did answer this question, as if someone truly wanted to use sub sonic ammo to hunt deer sized game, I would really limit the shots to under 50 yards and be head shots ONLY type of deal IMO
and as said in countless forums and other publications about shot placement, head shots are NOT the best for most hunters to be trying due to such a smaller killing zone and higher odds IMO of a things going wrong and wounding a deer or making a VARY hard to follow blood trail if any at all! if things go off just a little??
SO< again, NOT the best idea here even at close range IMO using sub sonic ammo for deer sized critters?
