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

Many of these misses are dependent on the individual deer, anatomically, genetically and position-wise. The amount of fat on a deer also makes a difference, as subcutaneous fat is layed down within different reserve areas within each individual
I have butchered deer with a lot of fat over their shoulders and hardly any on their hind quarters and vice versa.
