Default where do you aim with your rifle?
when your about to shoot a deer where do you aim, i cant decide if i should go with the heart shot, or go with the old right behind the shoulder shot, if i aim at the heart and miss slighty i might miss vitals, where do you guys aim?

i want the deer to die as quickly as possible because theres 5 others hunters within 1 mile of me...

Default RE: where do you aim with your rifle?
I voted right behind the front leg, but the only one I have shot I aimed at the back of the shoulder, not right behind. Took out the shoulder and he dropped like a rock.

If theres snow on the ground i'll go for lungs but if theres no snow and just leaves i'll go for shoulders so it'll drop right there.

If you aim behind the front leg, chances are that you will hit the Heartor Lungs!

Behind the front leg. They will fall shortly if not faster.
