[QUOTE="Nmariner, post: 191808, member: 5148"] A 243 will work just fine. I used to use my 300 Weatherby Mag on Mule Bucks. Shot a buck straight through the heart with it that ran 200 yards before piling up. When I gutted him the only thing left of the heart was small chunks. This deer just stood up from his bed when I shot with no idea I was there. So no adrenaline or anything to keep him going. So even with perfect shot placement you may have to do some tracking regardless of caliber. [/QUOTE]
