I shot my first deer this winter. He was a small, 80lb buck in central Tx. I was worried that my 30.06 would blow him in two pieces. It didn't. It was a perfect shot; right through the lung/heart area. He ran 20 yards and this suprised me immensely.
Anyway, we've had sausage, steaks, burgers and chili and I've never been a happier man.
Thanks all of you who provided advice and helped me get started in this sport. I love God's earth.
