RE: Bullet Placement
I too, agree with Skeeter. A proper shoulder/high shoulder shotusually drops 'em where they are. Behind the shoulder is a dead anything and the ribs don't blow up like a shoulder or neck roast!
I'm sure most of us have had a deer make that small move or take another step just as we were squeezing off.Aiming at the shoulder or ribs still amounted to a clean kill. I can't say what would happen if the crosshairs were on the neck and it moved!! Coyote bait?
