Default RE: Shoulder or Double lung

You got open broadside shot on deer standing at 75 yards. Do you shoot for shoulder and try to break him down there. Or lung shot and tracking.
Tell me, how do you hit the jaw when aiming for the base of the neck at this distance?? If your shooting is that bad you have no business pulling the trigger without dialing your groups in BEFORE going on the hunt!!!!

Most of my hunting is spot and stalk so I can pick the range I want to shoot at.It all depends on the animals activity, calm or nervous. When I' m at my " range" I study the animal for a few minutes first, after a little while I can begin to read the deers attitude, if it' s calm it' ll get one in the neck, if it' s jumpy it' ll get one in the lungs.Who suggested taking a running neck shot at a deer??No one, anyone who would is an idiot.As for being a low percentage shot,I' ve taken almost a dozen deer who' ll argue or should I say, can' t argue that point.It' s all about personal capabilities, if you can' t do it then don' t try it
