Thread: 222 vs Fallow

Before I went to a 223, I had a few 222's and shot a good number of deer for the freezer. I kept it all under 150m and shot for front of shoulder (hilar zone) or if I could, shoot between the peepers. One red spiker I can remember, he didn't offer me either of those at about 70m, he was just drifting through the manuka so I shot the bugger high in the kidneys and he was dead by the time I covered that distance. Most of the meat was bloodshot in that region, so less meat from him.
