[QUOTE="Natty Bumpo, post: 205896, member: 10106"] For 10 years I managed a deer culling program for a county agency. We worked on public preserves in a suburban setting and shot deer from elevated blinds over baited sites using .22 mag rimfires. During that time we probably killed over 400 deer, nearly all within 40 yards. The .22 mag will kill them. Shot placement was usually between the ear and eye. I'd say less than 10% required a 2nd shot to keep them down. I could count the number of cripples on one hand. We chose the .22 mag primarily for sound consideration. We applied for a permit each year and the state DNR signed off on our program. It would not be legal for John Q. Public to go deer hunting with a rimfire in that state. It will do the job, however if it's at all possible to use a centerfire, that would be my preference. [/QUOTE]
