First of all, it has nothing to do with marksmanship. A deer's head movement can be quick and unpredictable. You can make a flawless shot and if they move their head just as you fire there isn't anything you can do about it.So how many deer run off after the center mass shot with a "varmint" caliber rifle, to die a slow miserable death from a gut shot?
I shoot all doe deer in the head with my 300 wm. I don't have them run off.
I also shoot squirrels and shoot pigeons in the head with my 17 Mach II, at 100 yards regularly.
I never thought of myself as an expert marksman, but it appears that I'm way ahead of the curve.
Some folks will shun .223 but there's some killer ammo out there now that I'm fully confident in. I like the Barnes stuff personally but there's plenty of good ammo for 223. . The Hornady American whitetail is some great ammo imoShot placement is key, my grandpa used a .223 for years and kill a lot of deer with this caliber.

That's awesome , my youngest daughter's the same way... a stone cold killer but she's patient; let many walk last year. Seems most young folks are not that way?I was faced with the question last year. I was taking my son and wanted him to become a responsible hunter. I bought him a 243 and let him shoot it. I have to say he has made 3 great shots and I have 3 deer in the freezer. Of course at 9 he is a better sportsman and will let a deer walk I would have tried 15 years ago.
