Shot placement!!!

These might be helpful for some, with deer rifle just around the corner.

I will take the shoulder shot everyday of the week. Straight up the leg and a little higher then the crosshair is showing. They drop right there and never have to track them. It breaks both shoulder and also the back.

Nice!
Also consider the travel of projectile thru the animal, assuming no deflection.
I always liked a slightly quartering away shot if possible.

I agree, especially when shooting solid copper projectiles

Last 3 deer, neck shot. My preferred, no interior mess and like the heart.

I'm a shoulder shooter, deer don't go far with no lungs.

You have to shoot them in the ass first. It slows them down for the perfect shot.

Yep! Work your way foreword. Second shot in the intestines, third to the stomach, and forth to the liver. That ensures at least a mile or more of running to make them tired and want to lay down. After you let them lay there for a couple three hours, then you walk up to them and blow both shoulders away thereby ensuring a quick demise and the recovery of two sandwich bags of the best wild grown protein a man can get. Learned that from an old sconi and his wife. I think she was from minnetucky if memory serves. Lovely couple. So educated in hunting too.

This was my go to method in my youth at running deer. If the ass shot was placed just right it would knock them down and the 2nd shot was a head shot.

Texas heart shot….aka bunghole

They drop like a sack of $hit!

I have had my share of ass shots since walking and pushing deer have been the go-to method of hunting for years. Now I'm starting to think sitting in nice warm blinds and planting food plots to hunt over is sounding good. I already turned an old grain bin into a hunting blind and looking at purchasing an elevated box blind for another spot.

I would recommend that placement on a HUGE buck!

What?

Why switch when the famous Nodak Deer Blind has worked so well and for many years.

You know, it is a very practical way of hunting.

My preferred bow shot is 2" above figure E.

THXS, B/B. You just proved me right. Your picture showed a Ford.

 

[AR-15]

I leave them on the hoof, the meat doesn't go bad then, if I need meat I go buy a nice Chuck Roast, no mess

 

[Jiffy]

Chuck roasts are more expensive than hunting nowadays and that’s saying something!!

PS: My sight picture is the elevation of F and the windage of D.

 

[KDM]

I'm a figure F guy. Maximum allowance for windage and elevation errors from wind, shot angles, and my own nerves.
