Just butcher your own deer. There aren' t any hollow spots except inside the windpipe.

I think if people substituted " non lethal" for " hollow" it would be more accurate. A non-lethal shot is a bad shot. Calling it the " hollow spot" makes it sound like a trick of fate that the hunter didn' t get the deer. I don' t think people are necessarily trying to say that but that' s what it sounds like. I shot two deer last year right through the lungs with the rifle and they never bled a drop until they dropped. If I hadn' t recovered them, could I have blamed the hollow spot?
