Default SHOT PLACEMENTS!


I have had many debates regarding where the most ideal area is located when taking a deer. There are some hunters out there that I've seen shoot deer in the most inhumane ways casing great suffering,pain and prolonged death by landing shots in the face the stomach, neck so and so forth. Some of these deer not dieing and suffering for months or years. I have seen deer with healed over holes in the legs and neck area, and even deer crippled due to poor shot placements.

I feel when I take a shot it should be percise, placeing it in the heart or lungs. Some say lugh shots are in humane. Any time I have shot a deer in the lungs they have never ran off more that 50-75 yards. About the same as shots placed in the heart or is some cases the deer never even knew what hit them.

In the same breath when taking a deer with a heart shot I find there is damage to the meat.

Please give me your input.

Thanks


KEEP HUNTING AND THE GREAT OUTDOORS ALIVE!
