There was a period where 222 and 223 seemed to be around but the common complaint was "ooooh they run and they run". For forestry culling, not dropping the deer on the spot can add a fair amount of work as the plantations can be horrible to retrieve the deer in. Crawling under firs, sap and needles getting in everywhere. For agricultural lands, sure why not.
