Shot placement
I am referring to rifle/muzzle loader hunters.
When shooting at deer or other four legged game, where do you try to place your shot?
I was taught as a young hunter to aim for the chest cavity (heart/lung) area but a shoulder shot none the less. Since I have been hunting for years now and have experience from trial and error, I now try for high shoulder shots on all game. I have taught my daughter this and she has tagged 4 deer now, one the last 4 years with 100% accuracy and one shot kills. I allow her to shoot deer at distances most grown men wont shoot with her longest shot being a smidge over 300 yards using her .243 and 80 grain bullets. This was a perfect placed high shoulder shot and the buck folded where he was standing.
What's ya'lls shot placement preference?
