RE: Best place for a kill shot on a Deer?
Great drawing. A picture is worth a thousand words.
Listen to these guys. What if the deer moves his head right when you pull the trigger? I have seen deer shot through the jaw that will starve to death, but could still run all day and night. A miss of only 2-3 inches could be disastrous.
If you shoot for just above the heart and just behind the shoulder, what happens if you miss by the same three inches? If you go high, you hit the spine, low, the heart, forward, the shoulder, and back, the liver. These are all shots that will put the deer down rather quickly.
