RE: Best place for a kill shot on a Deer?
I love to hit them right at the base of the neck where it starts at the front of the shoulder. you still have a pretty good area to hit. and you end up breaking the spine in the neck. just the percussion will cause tissue damage in the neck area. i think of as cutting off the communication to the body. the brain can't tell the legs to run if the line is broke.
the heart shot is the safest . i strees this to my 12 y/o son and he does very well at it. when he gets better take the base of the neck shot. this also doesnt do damage to the head if your going to mount it. i have one on my wall that i did punch a good hole in but because it was at the shoulder neck point the taxedermist could make it so you couldnt tell.
