I've killed a deer with .22lr. Head shot, went in the eye and never came out. Deer dropped right where she was standing.

It looks like some PVC fittings with washers and steel wool inside, wrapped with rubber tape and then with electrical tape.... I dunno tho, thats just what it looks like  .I also "heard" that the sound of the bullet hitting the deer is louder than the gun going off..

I have been using a bolt action .243 as my weapon of choice for 26 years. I have actually lost count of how many deer have been shot with it. I have placed shots on deer from 20 yards to 200 + yards over the 26 years. I will admit I have had several deer lost after hitting the ground then getting up and running off. One recent loss was a shot taken at 30 yards, the deer hit the ground like a sledge hammer hit it, after several minutes the deer scrambled up and got away. I applied that loss to a bad shot placement and me making noise which alerted the deer to scramble. Shot placement is very important. I also believe that a factor in a deer running off is the deers will to live. If a deers adrenaline is high, that deer can run with a bullet through the heart for a long distance. I have noticed that, when a properly placed shot on a deer that is more calm feeding or walking tends to drop in place or go a short distance and lays down.

No huntin fool that was not your shot placement that led to her running off. That doe was scared of what that buck was going to do to her if she laid there much longer.

If you are worried about a deer running then shoot them straight through the shoulder - plain and simple. They can't run and the won't run. All the big deer I have ever shot, have been shot through the shoulder and have dropped straight in their tracks. If you want "knockdown" then that's my advice. Not saying anything about wasting meat though...
