Default where do u shoot

what do u aim for when shooting a deer? just the center of the vitals or a specific organ such as the lungs. i am for the lungs whenever possible because if they cant breathe, they cant live

I aim right behind the shoulder on broadside shots. For the opposite shoulder on quartering away.

I always try to take out the lungs. In fact if I don't have a good high percentage lung shot, I don't shoot!

Good Luck!

Thats where its all at. Take a look at his track record. You can't argue, he kills monsters all the time. Take out the lungs or let it walk!!!

I aim low in the heart-lung area to allow for a deer jumping the string. If he doesn't squat, I still hit the heart/lungs. If he does, I catch him in the middle to high lungs. Each is lethal and quick.

Good luck!

I aim right about here.... depending on how high and how far away the deer is. I'd wait on this one to move that leg forward and turn a little more broadside. Maybe just a tiny bit above my mark.
