[QUOTE="SupressYourself, post: 191793, member: 340"] Some people swear by neck shots, but it's [B]not[/B] a good bet. Sure, hit the spine, or a major artery / vein, and they're down quick. However, there's a lot of room in there that is not vital. The ribcage is the only sure thing. [COLOR=#222222][FONT=Verdana]I've killed scores of deer (whiteys and muleys) and pronghorns with my 243 over the years. Never lost one. IMO, you don't need anything bigger until you get into elk/moose/grizzly territory. Also, muleys aren't any tougher than whitetails. What works for one will work for both.[/FONT][/COLOR] [/QUOTE]
