This last weekend i went out bear hunting and i shot a black bear when i shot it the bear dropped instantly, I was aiming high on the front shoulder but when i walked up to the bear i found out that i wiggled and hit it in the neck then the bullet deflected into the top of the skull between the eyes, lucky wiggle

Deleted: had a bad moment....sorry moose3[:'(]

1/3 up from the bottom of the animal, just behind the shoulder usually does the trick. But sometimes they have run on me, and there is nothing I hate worse than seeing an animal run away from the point of impact. To prevent that I really like a spine shot.

If I'm close the most deadly shot I can take is a neck or head shot(just behind the jaw at the base of the head and neck)but thats not always the case,more than often I place the sight just behind the shoulder on the back of the elbo of shoulder joint.

Hey moose what the heck is a WIGGLE?

My deadliest shot was a mule deer doe that was about 10 yards away looking straight at me. Shot her with a 7mm magnum and the bullet entered her throat patch and blew out the back of her neck. Needless to say she didn't do anything but hit the ground.

big bulls.... are u sure that was enough gun?[:-] lol

if i am close i like the neck shot just as BBJ said, with rifle!

bow i like just above the elbow...

If I am close enough then its the head or neck. If not I like the high shoulder shot. Above the shoulder blade just between that and the spine. Next choice is the heart/lung shot.

my most deadly shot was on the only whitetail i've killed this last year. he was trotting away and i shot him clean high in the neck and he litterally dropped in his tracks. all he did was have muscle contractions in one of his back legs. nothing else moved.

My first successful muzzleloader elk hunt. I was stillhunting in oakbrush and jumped some elk that heard me/maybe saw me, but wasn't sure what I was. I cow called and they came right back to me. A 5x5 bull stopped in the open 15 yards from me! However, I only had a COW tag! The cow stopped right behind a thicket of oakbrush. The only hole through the brush was where the part of her neck just behind her head happened to stop. Shot through the hole with my 54 caliber 425 grain maxiball. She hit the ground without even twitching.

I was wild pig hunting with my dad and a few friends. I was using a .300 Savage Magnum with scope. I spotted a Sow down in a gully about orginally about 400 yards out. Due to the terrain and heavy brush, I knew I was going to probably only get a quick but ehatical shot. She came out of some brush about 275 yards. I took aim and fired. I was aiming for the middle of her back (hearts and lungs). I actually was little off target (due slight change of wind) but I was able to hit at the base of the neck/head and she dropped instantly.
