As a seasoned citizen I decided to break out my old S&W M29 44 mag and at the same time try the the DPX round . This is the all copper Barnes bullet 225 gr @ 1350.
My hunting buddy found a preserve that had red deer and they wanted to cull some females.
Got within 40 yds [ NO scope ! ] and put one high in the chest breaking a rib ,hitting a vertabrae, holing both lungs and breaking a rib on the other side ans stopping against the hide !
Still can shoot the M29 !! Bullet performance on a 230 lb animal.
As some of you are interested in cooking - they cooked up the liver - sliced , sauted with onion, salt , pepper and marjoram . Delicious !! Another treat was just baked bread .She's from Austria so it was a fine whole wheat loaf typical of that area.
