[QUOTE="Shinneryfarmer, post: 4117309, member: 46291"] A friend of the family took my nephew on his first deer hunt. His dad not a hunter, him and I had plans the next weekend to go. Anyway the friend didn't have another deer rifle he thought the nephew could handle, not expecting to see anything he gives the nephew a 204 Ruger. They are set up in a blind and a basket buck comes out at 200 yds full frontal view the nephew shoots hitting the buck in the head with a 32 gr bullet (don't remember if solid or hollow point) The buck drops like a rock, they procede to the deer and there is blood right between the eyes, not much but a little. They return to truck, driving out to pickup deer and about 75yds from the deer it stands up shakes its head staggers a step then runs off. Nephew was disappointed after the high of thinking he just killed his first buck. Fast forward to the next weekend the family friend kills the same buck on the adjoining property. Upon inspection the 32gr must have glanced off the skull of the buck, no penetration just a little bit of hide gone. I guess it just knocked the buck out for a bit. [/QUOTE]
