Particularly stupid when using a .50 BMG! Shooting a deer with a .223 or less? Maybe a head shot would make a little sense, since IF you hit the brain you get a quick kill with a light round.eelj wrote: Wed May 02, 2018 10:56 pm I also consider head and neck shots as stupid, to great a chance for wounding a deer and losing it.
I don't get it. From that angle, it looks to me like he could have taken a heart shot and spoiled little meat, if that was the concern. Might have made a hell of a mess of the viscera, though.
This whole project seems stupid, but if you're going to shoot a small deer with a big fucking gun, why are you NOT trying to ruin the carcass? Have a real dumb laugh over it?
