Default You Call The Shots XI

Weapon: .243 w/ Scope
Range:100 yards
Conditions: Overcast
Winds: 8-10 mph, right to left
The Scoop:You just caught him crossing over a clearing following behind some does. It's pre-rut and he is beginning to chase. He isn't staying for long, so your decision is on the line. 100 yards is nothing for the .243, but what about the power?

BANG! I think the .243 has plenty of power to make a 100 yard shot

100 yard shot with a .243 is plenty of power. I'd pass on him though because he's a 2-1/2 year old deer with good potential to grow into a giant buck in a few years.

Pull the trigger. That gun will get it done at that distance.
