[QUOTE="tRidiot, post: 2961079, member: 9374"] Did I ever say it was "optimum"? No, not really. I know of a number of calibers that could do as well or better on deer. The same as on people. You really think I don't know about physics, biology, wound ballistics and trauma? I assure you, I do, and I guarantee I have enough personal experience to rely on. My question was what makes it less lethal on deer than on humans? We don't have the same kind of speed and endurance a deer has, but we do have opposable thumbs and medical kits.... in fact, given a less-than-optimum shot placement, I'd put the odds on a human's long-term survival over a deer's. Personally. Given modern medical science. Deer aren't some kind of mythical unstoppable beasts without landing a massive 300-grain bullet directly in the center bullseye. I'll stand by it - there is nothing inherently MORE deadly about ANY cartridge to humans than it is to deer. They are flesh and blood and lungs and hearts and livers, just like we are. Get over it. They aren't dangerous or hard-to-kill game. [/QUOTE]
