Dear All,
Following the lenghty discussions on the Roe/.22 C/F debate it has become quite apparent that different stalkers have considerably dirfferent experiences in relation to the reaction of Roe deer to being shot.
As a novice stalker it would be helpfull to have some idea to what sort of % of Roe do not drop dead on the spot so to speak.
For the purposes of this thread can we take it that a shot Roe which is located 15 m or more from the place it was shot has considered to have run.
If replies could give some idea of the numbers of roe they shoot and with what calibre rifle/bullet they used it might provide some useful insight into this topic.
To date I have yet to experience the Roe run scenario and have only seen it on video.
I look forward to the collective experience and wisdom of the forum.
Regards
D
