RE: Would you be proud of this shot?
15 more pages of pissing and point proving..............
. I have a new found respect for GMMAT's ability to piss further than anyone else on earth.
As for the shot, you can't argue with the outcome but it is not where I would have aimed. Like others have said, I like it tucked up a little closer to the arm pit and a slight bit higher if I were 23' up.

And Mez.......ALL I'm saying is....there's cartilage around the shoulder. Are you arguing that there isn't?
No, that is not ALL you said. You said the photo was misleading to new hunters and it is not. You said the shoulder cavity is surrounded by a cartilage plate. You then questioned another posters anatomy knowledge. The green dot is no where near the shoulder either.
So I ask again, where are the three cartilage locations in the shoulder area of a deer? I'm not going to answer the questin for you. Just describe the anatomy of the shoulder.

I'd have to say it was a "perfect" shot. One lung,heart dead deer. What may have not been perefect was your original intended placement, although it probably would have been double lung. What exactly is perfect? You wanted a heart shot? Perfect! You were aiming for Dbl lung, you missed! Dead deer either way. Hunting is not target shooting for points. The ultimate goal is to put the animal down ASAP. This you did. That's a "perfect" shot in the deer woods maybe not at a 3-d shoot.

Nope. Some criticized the shot placement in another thread......and I asked in this one if "you" would be proud of it.
I still say (no....I know) if you move this deer's right front leg back to its normal position in the photo...and stand this deer up.......that the shot was "center-punched".
Anything that any of us write is just going to be monday morning quarterbacking... Jeff did you need your ego stroked or something? The deer was dead inside 50 yards... think the shot placement was right? DUH?
