You might be surprised at what a .22 LR can do. Lots of deer have been taken with them. Yes, shot placement is important when your round isn't going to blow them in half.

Yea, I... know a neighbor, that's it. He told me he killed the one dead deer in his life with a .22, through the open kitchen window in the morning. Head shot. Went down like a puppet with cut strings. Cleaning it was more work that it was worth. The neighbor hates the taste of deer.

I was going to say that. My grand dad had exactly two guns. One was a 39a in .22LR and the other was a bolt action J C Riggins 16 gauge shotgun.

The shotgun was for birds and rabbits. The .22 was for squirrels and deer. I still have both of those guns. That 39a is worth quote a sum now. I think grandpa paid about 20 dollars for it back in the day.

Best,
