Nice shot. |

CPR anyone? |

Wow. Where did he hit it at to cause that much damage?
eta: IB some smartass sez: "the head" |

What is a fallow? |
|
|
I believe a fallow is an imported species normally found on game farms. |

I don't do much hunting, but I am fairly sure that in CT at least, you can't shoot a deer that still has it's "spots". Anyone, I would write that deer off as wasted. I wouldn't eat that meat after that, not that there is much to it to begin with?
As a side note, I have that same shirt! |

I think that guy is a member here. I remember him posting about it. Said he shot it head on, i think cause the deer moved when he fired. Somthing like that. He posted several posts about his hunting of hogs and such with his AR's... Cant quite remember his name.

Dog with white spots. |

Those deer are a LOT bigger than the one he shot. |
|
|
Axis deer. Yep, kill them facist bastards before they repriduce and drive out the native deer.
Notice the SEASON? This is CLEARLY a NON-GAME species, hunted legally in a closed season for game species. Duh. |
|
Tell the truth--you don't do ANY hunting (at least not so far). |
|
|
Right click and read the title under "Properties"--"small doe." It is NOT a fawn. |

Here in Missouri there's no regulation against shooting fawns, whether you have an Any Deer tag or Antlerless Only. When I have enough tags and a doe with fawns comes through, I shoot the doe first because the fawns will either freeze up or run a short distance and come back. It's nice to drop a couple within 20 yards of each other.
I've seen those Fallow deer on TV before, and I like their palmated antlers. I don't want to get one at a game farm though, so I'll likely never get to shoot one. |

NM, link above answers all. |

looks like a .308 Savage Model 10FP McMillan and a Blackhills 165 grain softpoint between the eyes @ 88 yards.

I guess he brought enough gun. Damn.
I took my Savage .308 hunting a couple years ago, I'm glad I didn't get a shot because now I wonder if there would be anything left over. |

Most shots are taken through the front of the rib cage--and it doesn't do that. Check out BeetleBailey's dinner pic for an idea of what most shots look like. As a matter of fact, I've shot a number of deer in the head with a .30/06 (200 FPS fast than a .308) and only one ended up close to that and it only had half of the top of its head blown away. Most just end up with a gaping exit wound. Head shots are mostly not a good idea anyway--especially for beginners. If you stick with rib cage hits you won't see anything even similar to that. |

LMFAO - nevermind
uhhh....is it just me or does that deer look like it has a cigarette hanging out of it's starboard lip???? |
|
Looks like an axis to me
On a side note I took two axis over the christmas break with my AR |
|
What was it shot with?
I shot a coyote in the head with a 150 grain TAP from 80 yards with my PSS that looked about like that. |
|
A head shot from a .243 Win would do that...provided it was a 55 grain BT moving at over 4100 FPS and hit at somewhere around 4000 FPS.
The rifle in the picture is a long action. A .257 Weatherby with 60 grain HP would do similar damage. It is a velocity thing, NOT a caliber/weight issue. You want to do the same with your AR? Make it a 24" barrel with 35 grain bullets...or 30 grainers. Make sure to hit the head and NOT the jaw. |

Ah, you mean like a .308 Win. spitting out 150's. |
|
|
I shot a doe in muzzleloading season and hit it right between the eyes. A .50 cal 295 gr hollowpoint powerbelt left a nice round hole and exited through the ear. No tracking required.
