I no baldie but by law you carn't despatch deer with anything less than a 243 legally and if the police are there at most cases we'll be travelling home in a panda car or we could use a 12 gauge with nothing less than a ssg init legally its the firearms officer who said about a .32 he even said about a .38 but my arms arn't like popeye's anymore as for the deer it got left to suffer untill a vet turn up(with a stun gun as the police man said) not a captive bolt as he ment
