Compound that problem with the fact that the best hunting spots are closest to that ground. Need to drop the deer in its tracks. What about shoulder blade shots. Thanks
Its bascially a spine shot. A low shoulder shot is bad. High shoulder shot and they won't move a muscle.
It can be a risky shot. Smaller kill zone than just a double lunger.
