    I think he should've kept shooting till it was dead , admiring the shot or moving on usually results in a fark up.

    Hi guys, we have this debate in the UK all the time about the 243, overhere it's the minimum calibre for deer, I own a 243, 270 and a 3030 all have taken red roe , fallow and sika, I have to say the 243 requires better bullet placement than the 270, on the red and fallow.

    You must have tough fallow over your way. The kiwi ones I've dealt with will expire if you fart too hard in their general direction.
    The range of what we think and do is limited by what we fail to notice. And because we fail to notice that we fail to notice, there is little we can do to change; until we notice how failing to notice shapes our thoughts and deeds

    It takes 43 muscle's to frown and 17 to smile, but only 3 for proper trigger pull.
    What more do we need? If we are above ground and breathing the rest is up to us!
    Rule 1: Treat every firearm as loaded
    Rule 2: Always point firearms in a safe direction
    Rule 3: Load a firearm only when ready to fire
    Rule 4: Identify your target beyond all doubt
    Rule 5: Check your firing zone
    Rule 6: Store firearms and ammunition safely
    Rule 7: Avoid alcohol and drugs when handling firearms

    I shot a fallow buck once with an 8mm mauser shoulder shot he made it a good250 meters before i caught up with him. He was exceptionally big for a fallow though 64 kgs on the hook no head or guts.
