if you shoot for lungs, deer will run..i shoot for neck if close,if i dont have real nice buck to shoot,its neck ..if people are around me, its neck shot..

now, i shot a big buck on monday..no one was near me so i shot himIN THE SHOULDER..i aim just where elbow is towards lung.. i want to hit that elbow..this way he going down..he went right down and did not go a foot..his shoulder was bro..

if you aim back towards lungs ,he is going to run and holdblood in ..

i teach this all time at our sportsmen club to kids..

same with bears ..i always shoot for shoulder with my .50 cal on bear..hard to run on 3 legs..

in todays greedy world of meat hunters that will steal a deer from you in woods if it comes by them wounded, you have to put deer down so it does not run..

neck and towards shoulder shots on deer will do that..
