Shootem in the head drop like flies no ruined meat
Only if you hit the brain.If you hit the jaw the animal suffers a slow painful death from starvation.
I just finished a euro mount for someone, the 8 pointer was hit directly in the jaw with a .270. Guy said he dropped but was still alive and couldnt get up, a follow up shot was necessary as it lay on the ground.
kinda a sad huh ? Even though I'm guilty of taking a few deer in the head.
