[QUOTE="Win Tom, post: 2100015, member: 116946"] Well, in Virginia, we can take many deer a season. The base license is for 3 bucks and 3 does, and you can buy as many bonus doe tags as you want, 3 at a time. That said, over the last 35 years, I would guess I have shot probably 150 or more deer, some big, some not so big. Probably every conceivable placement (on purpose and accident!). Over this time, I have learned several things. 1. Shooting a deer in the head will sometimes "lock" joints and stiffen meat. Not my choice of shot. 2. The best shot placement can and will result in different results for different deer. One might drop in place, while another may run 1500 yards. You cant predict which one you are shooting at. 3. Just as you wouldnt shot a large caliber man with a small caliber bullet, I refuse to hunt with some of the smaller calibers such as .243. Even at close range, most deer will run considerable distances. Chose the largest caliber you can comfortably and accurately shoot. Personally, I have killed more of my deer with a Model 70 in .264 win mag than with any other caliber. Close or far, has the punch to do the job. [/QUOTE]
