I know a guy who did it regularly here in MT back in the 70s & 80s. He had an accurate, scoped rifle, and never shot over 100 yards or so. He wasn't afraid to hang his "either sex" A-tag on a doe (but big bucks were killed as well), and he took what he could get. He took a few heart shots, but they were so-so for effectiveness. Even he later went to a .22-250.
Note: I am not endorsing the practice, just relaying the facts.
