Best Bullet for deer
« on: January 15, 2006, 03:20:13 PM »
Yesterday I took a nice doe, Texas has an extended doe and spike season that runs until 15 Jan.  The shot was in the kill zone, using a 30-06 165 gr. softpoint.  The deer stumbled then ran 10 yards.  As it was getting dark and I was alone I did not look for the bullet, which did not exit the deer.

Does anyone have any recommendations on a bullet that will drop a deer when the shot is placed in the kill zone?

Thanks,
Doug
