[QUOTE="johngibbs222, post: 3085274, member: 49619"] Over here in the UK we have an alien species or two, muntjac deer a small deer - a big buck is 40 pounds, dressed out about 30. Since I was 75 these are my big game and about all I could manage to drag out. The other alien is the chinese water deer, similar in size but I've never seen one of those. FWIW the little muntjacs are the tastiest venison, imho, and it and the CWD are the only ones in england we can legally shoot with a 223, I gotta say even that's OTT for them. I preferred my 30/30 loaded with cast boolits to the minimum muzzle energy (1000 ft.lbs) as ranges tend to be short. They count as varmints, no closed season and no limits when culling but they cost a pretty penny for a trophy buck on estates that sell stalking. As I get older the blood lust has virtually vanished and I'm quite happy to bum some venison from my more mobile mates rather than get out in the field so my response to the OP is as far as it is to my cell phone.........
