Too Much For Fallow?

The No1 App in Europe for Hunting Area Management - MyHunt
In answer to the title you can’t get deader than dead.
You can only be under gunned not over gunned.
Though most if not all firearms departments don’t agree.
 
Never too much gun unless the hunter/shooter is recoil sensitive only.
7MM RM 150 WSP at a 100 yards full steam at 40mph. Entered behind left shoulder and the deer skidded for 40 yards on his nose such was the speed he was doing.
The .460 in question by @Klenchblaize in the OP could have entered anywhere lol.
As a partial thread hijack would he be considered as a big buck (body) in the UK? I actually shouldered him to th etop of the hill in the background,didnt put him down as I wouldn't have got him back up lol. Circa 30 years ago,oh how I wish to be so young again.

would be a big deer here, even for Scottish reds give or take
 
Biggest Fallow I shot went 90kg in the larder, he had been raiding orchards and gardens so had managed to fatten up
Biggest I've seen went 95kg in the larder - likely had similar feeding
Both were shot in Hampshire close to the New Forest while helping themselves to crops
I didn't try to back pack either of them - I quit that sort of eejitry years ago

As for K's question, as I've used my 375H&H on Chinese Waster Deer and Muntjac, I'd have to reckon that the Weatherby is just about right for fallow
 
As somewhat of a Weatherby fan, I have seen that.
However I already have a .458 MkV so can look away.

The same seller has a 416Wby Lazermark, which is prettier and cheaper, and that has caught my eye though 😂
