Yes as others have said it can be done. It just makes shot placement more crucial than if you were using a bigger caliber.

I love how bow hunters always try and act like rifle hunting is so easy. Ever tried taking one at 300+yds (don't give me that crap "your not a real hunter if you can't get them to come in bow range" BLAH BLAH BLAH

I like taking them from the other side of a bean field, but that's just me.
