I was looking through the Remington ballistics charts last night and that lupua is quite impressive. Still more energy at 400yrds than my 20g at the barrel!
I got my deer last Thursday with the slug gun, a big doe that has been trimming our fruit bushes all summer. Tastes pretty good so far, we've had the tenderloin and ground some up.
I don't think I would pass on a big old buck, but I like eating does and fawns a lot more. I think that's the problem people have with many game meats, is that often they are eating the old males. If you were eating 6 year old bulls, boars, roosters, rams, etc. lots of people would find them tough and gamey too. And if you like your meat "well done" you just make it tougher again.
My wife won't let me hunt deer
She's got some hang-up on it. I would love to go out to where my buddy's dad hunts, the deer there are incredible. The .308 would be perfect for deer, and that's what I had originally bought the .270 for.
I'm wearing her down, hopefully be able to go next year
