If I opened up on one 50 yards or less chances are it wasn't getting out of there. If you shoot a solid point in between it's eyes at less than 50 yards 9 times out of 10 it will be fatal in my experience. I live next to an orchard, deers love apples, pears and peaches.

I have also shot many with an AR-15. I know some states won't let you use them and some say it's not fit for big game but I assure you they will hammer whitetails at 200 yds or less shot any where in the torso or head/neck. I used 55gr military FMJ loaded to 3000fps. It will also kill them at 300 yards if you can aim.
You are making me jealous. I gotta hump through the woods to find them and drag them back when I'm done. I gotta make friends with a farmer. I'll stop hijacking this thread now.
