Front shoulder

RE: Shot placement poll
 

I aim behind the front shoulder.

The heart or lungs have to be in the path for me now. I don't eat the ribs so I don't see it as loosing any meat.Plus itis certainly less meat lost then a botched head or neck shot. Been a part of a few of them and now refuse to take these shots unless it is basically a pointblank/finishing shot.

I always aim right behind the front shoulder with a bow, but with a gun I'll do the same for buck so I don't ruin the cape. With does, and a gun I'll head shoot them if I get the chance. Doesn't ruin any meat!;)

Heart / lung for sure.

Does get neck shot.. Bucks will to if the oppurtunity presents it self. But I will take a heart/lung shot on a deer if I don't have a good rest or the deer is walking..

Heart/Lung

I'd hold about 5" right of the previous post.

What no Texas heart shot option?

I have always went for the lung shot... but right now I'm faced with a situation... I'm hunting a buddies farm which borders another guys' property who absolutely despises anyone shooting what he considers to be "his" deer. He has already let it be known that any deer shot and then running back onto his property will not be searched for, they will just become coyote bait. I guess, I'm going to try one ofthese high shoulder shots I keep hearing about... if I was a little more confident with my muzzleloader (like my woodchuck rifles... 22BR and 223) I'd take a quick ear shot and have it over with. We'll see what happens I guess.
