far nuff stix , under the circumstances that deer makes sense . your dry humor/sarcasm does go over my head at times . that's the problem with things not being face to face on the internet . in person i probably woulda seen a silly grin as ya made ya statement and known you were joking around

and that deer shouldn't drink , he's got claret all over the place

dont get what l said wrong AZZA
l really dont have a problem with using smaller calibers if you and the equipment are up to the job with good shot placement
obviously you and you gear are up to it l dont like waste myself the farmers like you taking the whole deer away too

the shot placement of them 32's Stix is perfect, between the ear and eye
the back of the head is another good spot that will cave easily if the deer is looking away from you,
if they are looking straight at you the throat is where l shoot, if you can shoot straight even if your distance judgment is off a bit you will still get the deer

Back of the head is my favourite shot Marksman... ...if youre a bit low you take out the brain stem & if youre a bit high you brain it...a win win all round...

I wacked his little sister like that--not one bit of the little 32 escaped the head & it was like a furry mould full of jelly with pebbles it...

Love that shot on roos too... ...

And back of the head on a bunny anywhere past 150 is always a shot that brings one's trigger technique back down to what it should be... well for me anyway...


OH...and i never thought id say this to a bloke...but nice rack marksman... ..
