[QUOTE="turkeyrun, post: 2406386, member: 27991"] With them NOT finding the deer, proper bullet and placement is arguable. Tracking?, well, they didn't find it. We tracked a doe that a guy in deer camp asked for help finding, claiming he made a 'perfect' shot, but could not find a trail. I found a very light blood trail, followed the trail 1/4 of a mile and then spotted her standing in a thicket. Shot her in the head and found his 'perfect' shot to be a grazing belly shot that was barely bleeding and if lethal, would have been a very slow death. Same here, Dennis, none over 40 yrds, most dropped in their tracks, 7 were large, mature bucks. I'm no Quigley or Comanche tracker, but I have never shot a deer I did not recover. I believe in my guns and my ammo. I see no problem with the OP getting an AR, if that's what he wants. For the money and his intended use, I believe he would be better served with a bolt action in ANY caliber from .243 - .30-06, and PRACTICE, PRACTICE, PRACTICE. [/QUOTE]
