Way ta go 'Kudu'Originally Posted by Kudu
A while ago I got a .222 for all the fallow shooting I do. I have always been a "one gun" type of guy but there was just no need to use the .284 on Fallow. A few people said "Why get a .222? Get a .223" but I liked the traditional old .222. Anyway I have taken a few deer with it so far, always with neck shots as I realised it was such a light calibre. Anyway yesterday a fallow spiker was standing in front of me and he would not show his head or neck, so I thought what the hell, and I shot him behind the shoulder. The photo below shows the result! This is the entrance side! So from now on I will still be using neck shots, not because the calibre is to light, but I just don't want to waste so much meat!!
.222... too much gun now???
Can you imagine trying to patch up that sort of wound in a human if it wasn't immediately fatal.
