In order to be factual, correct or be more than an opinion that is the right answer, you only need to side with my opinion. LOL!

I'm a hypocrite because I say one thing, yet do another... so with that said, I think it's best to hold out for the broadside double-lung shot. It's the largest target and very deadly with no major bones to contend with to hamper penetration.

However, with the selection offered, it is also the shot that is not minimal tracking. But if you can't follow a double-lung blood trail, better use a different caliber, bullet selection or get a bunch of people together to help you track.

Skeeter, don't you mean that a shot at the central nervous system offers a larger margin for error?
