Y’all are crazy. I killed my first dozen deer with a .30 M1 carbine. Move up from there to a .243. Shot that until it was stolen from my truck when I was about 26. .243 is more than enough gun for white tails. I don’t ever remember not recovering a deer I shot either.
There’s a YouTube vid somewhere of a lady dropping a cow elk in its tracks from something like 650-700 yds. Yes, it was with a .243!!

Don't blame me for your bad decision-
