RE: shot placement questions
I've taken the neck shot a couple of times before - each time I droppedthe deer right whereit was standing.
I've also taken a spine shot before - although I have to admit it wasn't on purpose... This was my first deer and to this day the largest deer I have killed. It also dropped in his tracks - as a matter of fact, he flipped right overon his back with his front legs tangled up in his antlers.
But if I have a clear shot at the heart and lungs, that is the shot I'm taking. It simply a bigger target.
