Thread: 223 on deer

Chris Satherley used a 222 and his sad tale of shooting himself in the foot is detailed in Holdens book. The distance Satherley had to crawl is hard to imagine if you have never been over the track. As Holden said it was a testament to his fitness.

@TeRei do you remember which book that’s in ?
