Despite the decades of deer hunting

some hunters only use bullets developed in the last two years.

Yep. That's how I see it too. I've never understood why so many think a deer is bulletproof or that you need some fancy whiz bang technology or magical bullet to kill one. I'm willing to bet the average deer taken inn America will weigh less than 225 lbs live weight. Such an animal can be cleanly taken with any bullet currently on the market as long as the bullet hits the vitals.

To the OP, I suggest you look at the following pictures and place your bullet where indicated. If you do that, you will take the deer and nothing else will matter.
