Default RE: Best place for a kill shot on a Deer?

Chris 10, no disrepect to your Dad but a head shot is kinda unethical. What if you shoot him in the mouth? Not cool to let him run off and suffer, eventually dying of starvation cause he can't eat or maybe blood loss when he'll be miles away and a nice coyote supper.

PRACTICE, PRACTICE, PRACTICE! Don't go deer hunting until you're sure you can put one "IN THE BOILER ROOM". Practice by shooting a paper plate (it's the size of an actual deer's boiler room-no matter what the distance) at distances you are likely to actually set up for on your hunt. Don't shoot at a deer that you are not very, very, very confident you can hit in THE BOILER ROOM! Lastly, (BUT ABSOLUTELY MOST IMPORTANT!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!) know what's behind the shot! Know what that slug is going to hit if you do miss. The only one who calls them ACCIDENTS are the ones who pull the trigger. Everyone else calls it what it is....NEGLIGENCE!

Now....."Go Get Ya One!"
