Deer - lets see em

Got me an old crusty warrior today. Poor shot on my end, but his end came quick, thankfully. He, presumably in a fight, went blind in his left eye last fall and it definitely took a beating lately.

I saw this buck get in a nasty fight this morning. He won and ran the other buck off. He spent the day in the timber with about 15 does/fawns. As they fed out this evening my daughter set up a couple hundred yards ahead of their direction of travel. She rattled 4 times and he came in to 45 yards. Perfect shot with her bow-in one lung and out the liver. He went about 200 yards. Not her first but definitely her biggest with a bow.IMG_4036.jpeg
 
Nice buck! I’m planning on going out with my .223 for some whitetail this season. I’ve gotten mixed feedback on the caliber. Do you typically hunt with it? What grain?
