Justa thought to throw out there. I have hit several bucks in the opposite shoulder and have broken it, I'm talking the thicker part where the ridge is, and it is cracked in half, busted completely. BUT I hita doe on the way in on the shoulder bone and it didn't break, small chip out of the bone.
Now my question is....do you think it is easier to break a deer's shoulder bone hitting it from the inside(opposing shoulder) than it is when you hit it from the near shoulder?
