Which of these 3 deer species are the hardest to hunt and taste the best?
I've only hunted the blacktails, and now that I've moved to an area with monster Whitetails, I'm thinking that I had it really easy when hunting the black-tails. The Whitetails are much bigger here, and it's so cool when they go bounding off and you see their tail flip off.
I've also seen some Mule deer, and I've read that they're related to the black-tail.
Anyways, would appreciate your guy's stories and comments.
Oh btw, I'm thinking of hunting whitetail with a slug out of my Benelli Nova. Will the slug get the job done out to 50-60 yards with a bead sight as long as I do my part and get it into the vitals? I've taken a black-tail at 20 yards, and I thought it was overkill for the deer, but I guess it ran about 20 yards more and then expired, less suffering with the massive caliber and 1 oz weight.
I used Federal Truballs managed recoil last time, do I need the extra 300 fps from a regular recoiling slug to get a whitetail?
