Given a broadside shot, what is your preferred shot on deer?

Thanks to everyone who voted. I'll leave the poll open for now to see about getting more results.

Yes. I especially like the part where it proves .243s really do suck. 😁

South Carolina shooters.

Data doesn't lie. GA is twice the size of SC, and has much more public land, yet only kills 40% more deer. SC hunters are 17% more successful than GA. If you specify greater proven skill as a criteria, you will take your data from SC before GA.

Is that from Buckstix?

If it’s not a buck, a neck shot is crucial.
It’s rare if they take another step.

I have no confidence in statewide data, each track of land differs, I can assure you the track of private acres are going to be different than the same size acreage of land with hunting club, with 30 members are going to differ.the genetics in the area are gonna play a vital role in the size bucks that are killed.
