Myself, i love the hunt. When we were first married we were poor poor poor. We lived on elk and deer then. Now we mostly eat deer meat. My favorite shot is a broad side lung shot. The hand full of deer i shot face on in the lower neck dropped right now right there. The elk i shot in the tail bone dropped right now right there. The first deer i ever killed, was done in by one shot from a 22 long rifle in the ear.
The one and only shot i ever plan on taking is a broadside lung shot. However i will take any shot necessary to put meat in the freezer. I don't pass on any shot i think i can make. We eat meat all year; i can only hunt for the duration of the hunting season. I do like to have deer come home with me, unless they are gut shot. I love the hunt.
