Newbie gun hunter.
I want a clean quick kill with a ML.
Where do I hit the deer.
Archery Lung and heart shot usually don't have to chase far.
With a ML i want to drop em fast to keep em on the property.

Hit this area and its going down faster than.. well. it just went down fast
Most importantly, what is the load you are shooting?
This took out the heart and sucked one of the lungs up into the high chest cavity.

To plant a deer you have to break them down. So you need to shoot the clavical, shoulders, or in the spine, like a neck shot. The trouble with a lot of them is the deer is down but not out. So reload and approach them carefully.

That's good advise .... I had a 7point try to attck me 3 years ago. I dropped him in a big brush snag and he jumped up when I approached him. He was trying to get at me but was hung up in the tops left over from logging, so He couldn't get to his feet. He was still very much aliveso I had to finish him off. I think he coulda still really ran aways if not for being kinda trapped.
It scared the Hell out of me!!!! lol Also was hard to drag out of that mess.

Shoulder, and into the vitals or where the neck joins the body. You need a strong bullet to do that, like TC ShockWave bonded is best, Nosler Partition, Speer Gold Dot or Barnes Expander MZor TMZ actually any of the Barnes Rifle (.458 diameter) or .451 XPB pistol bullets will also do.
