re: #100 William Barnett-Lewis

I’ve found more than a few deer carcasses (or skeletons…) lost with arrows sticking out of them. Which is better; that or a drop in it’s tracks from a proper centerfire rifle? I like meat in my freezer…

No guarantee with that. Group that I have hunted with have “lost” shot deer, including one whose corpse we actually found a few days later. A rifle is more likely to be fatal than a arrow, but you still have to hit it in a spot that will prove fatal fairly soon - and then often have to be able to track the animal a distance unless you’ve hit it in a spot that incapacitates it rapidly. And they will often run 80-100 yards away even then.
