When I'm shooting a trophy I want them down ASAP so I prefer the double shoulder/take out running gear shot. (That's why I prefer Barnes bullets) But for does I prefer saving as much meat & will settle for a brief run & will double lung them.

I like the quartering shot into the lungs. Works well and doesn't damage much meat.

Right behing the shoulder, in the crease, little meat damage and a devastating shot.

I used to shoot all of mine in the lower thorax to get a heart/lung shot, but starting last year I've been shooting in the neck. They'll either bleed out super fast, or drop immediately.

i like double shoulder or heart lung i will always opt for the double shoulder as it at least to me really knocks them down but thats just 1 rednecks opinion

I prefer a double lung shot. They don't go far at all. On bear, I bust shoulders, but on deer elk and moose I lung them.

I look neck first - less meat damaged and easier cleaning, not to mention they tend to tip over a lot quicker. If there's any doubt, though, I move to heart/lung.
