I used to do some guiding on a hunting preserve in North Central Pennsylvania. Occassionally we'd get orders from various meat suppliers to provide them with vennison: Fallow Deer or Axis Deer. It was my task to harvest the deer. The purveyor had very strict requirements about the carcasses, including that there could be no blood shot meat on the carcass. For the shooting I had a very accurate Remington 700 in 7mm Rem.Magnum, topped with a Leupold 2.5 x 10 scope. My choice of bullet was the 140 grain Nosler Ballistic Tip bullet which I'd place between the eyes if facing me, or between the eye and ear hole if broadside. Only does were taken. Those shots did make a mess of the heads, usually blowing the eyes out of the sockets, and chunks of the skull blowing out as well. Not pretty, but effective, and no meat loss at all. The Axis Deer, imho, are the finest table fare I've eaten, followed closely by Fallow Deer, then Elk, excluding some of the African game I've enjoyed.
