"So what you did not say is that a brisket shot is a terminal shot.. I will say it is - brisket shots will devastate the vitals cavity and you will have your deer."

i have killed at least three deer with a shot to the brisket-all bang flops.Longest shot was just over 200 yards. That deer just would not turn, so i got into a sitting position: When he raised his head i popped him.

I you are not comfortable with the shot then don't take it.
