Default RE: To stop a deer in its tracks

Hi Matt,
Just curious. Why? Double lung shot will kill them every time. And you say they never get too far. So why the need to drop them?
I beg to differ on the Rifle shots always dropping them on the hunting shows. They run many times.
Well, my only hope was to hear opinions from other hunters about the shots they like to take on deer. I wondered what brings them down on the broadside shots I have seen. I have seen them run after being hit on hunting shows, but the only times I have seen them drop is when they are hit by a rifle on those shows. Apparently the hunters are hitting them in the shoulders and not the lungs.

What I would not like to do is have to walk up and take a second shot on the deer. I would rather my shot kill the animal as quickly as possible, instead of only paralyzing the animal.
