Rocky you are correct.
Why would anyone use a 7mm, 30.06 or any other large gun for the Whitetail in GA.
When I took mine in to the processors you should have seen the condition of some of the deer hanging up. While I am at it does anyone in GA know how to field dress a deer?
The processor said that almost all of the deer brought in he has to gut. The person in front of me unloaded 3 Jack Rabbits that he shot the night before and they were not field dressed.
I have .243 and 7-30 waters which are both much better for whitetail. But other members of the family are using them so I am left with the 7mm.
You are absolutely correct about shooting the neck low and not hitting the neck bone. I am in a tree stand with a rest. If I am not absolutely sure of the shot and the deer looking at me I don't shoot.
