Ok I for one am getting sick of seeing this same type of thread over and over again. Whats the joy of shooting a deer with a small caliber, in my opinon is a stupid stunt. Sure if everything goes perfect you can kill a deer with a 22mag but why fiddle around with "what could go wrong?" Pick a yourself a larger caliber put the hairs behind the shoulder and squeeze. You shoot ahead you get shoulder=dead deer, shoot back=dead deer, high=dead deer, low well u miss. Why not use a caliber that leaves a little bit of room for error instead of chancing the shot to show off. If some of you folks plan on ever coming up to Canada to hunt ya better leave them pea shooters at home because i highly doubt a outfitter here is going to let you out of camp with a toy.
