RE: Shot Placement
 

THE BEST PLACE TO SHOOT A DEER IS.......in the woods:eek:

Geez, I thought everyone knew that[&:]!

Preferably right by the truck so you don' t have to drag it far.

I agree with you popeye. If you have a problem, state it on the board, don' t e-mail people. This guy has been sending me private messages out the wazoo.... Something tells me he is about 10 years old.:D

Aim just behind the front leg in the center of the body. Good luck.

YOU HAVE TO SIGHT THE GUN IN FIRST SO IT HITS WHERE WHERE YOU AIM.SQUEEZE THE TRIGGER DON' T JERK IT.

Don' t seem to add up.
The dog don' t seem to hunt.
May be a waste of fur.

DB,
I assume you have the gun properly sighted and the deer is standing broadside and facing your left. My next guess for a shot in the Tenderloin would be your right handed and your jerkin the trigger(pulling gun to right) on a deer facing your left. Could this be the problem??

When you take aim just behind the shoulder take a DEEP breath - Then SQUEEZE the trigger. Your Deer will drop on the spot or run 50-100+ yrds.

You will find a nice hole behind the shoulder in the vital area - Easy Try It.
Good Luck

Heart and lung shot has proven the best for me. Large target and very lethal.

Please give more responds.

I like putting the bullet through the shoulder, it' s incredibly effective in incapacitating deer, it takes them off their feet in a hurry and most likely I' m getting frontal lung as well. This shot minimizes peripheral meat damage and maximizes the inherent odds of a single shot drop. If I don' t shoot the shoulder joint, I take the shot directly behind the point of the elbow when the leg is only lifted and not extended, it works like a billboard sign saying " shoot here" ---->, this almost always turns out to a double lung+heart shot, it eliminates the guess work of elevation on the body.
