Matt,
Generally, if you have a double lung shot you are not walking up on him and having to take a second shot. If truly a DLthe animal is dead by the time you get there.
Danny,

I should have added to that statement to clarify. What I meant was, I would rather not risk having to take a second shot, so I would not really want to consider the high shoulder shot. I have seen what the lung shots do, as I have hit all of my deer with one. You unplug the oxygen supply right then and there, and they get as far as they can go running while holding their breath.

I am examining that photo above of the skeleton, and to me it looks like the shoulder blade is above and in front of the lung by a tiny bit, but it's a little hard to tell exactly by the photo.
