One Shot - High Shoulder

I see that alot to i always figured there was a nerve in there that they are hitting

 

I've been told that they're trying to break both shoulders, so the deer can't run away.

 

Don't even open that door my friend!! Shoot for the vitals and let the rest of it go. I'm betting a paycheck that a lot of those shots you're referring to, were not intentional.

The quickest and probably most humane shot is to center punch the vitals. I'm sure someone will disagree, but I'm standing my ground.

buck i stuck this year jumped string on me. first time i have had that happen in awhile. hit high, dropped him in his tracks. spined him and then he had the nerve to roll over on my arrow which didn't matter anyway because when i put the second one thru him i shot the arrow remaining in him in half. yep, i'm just that good:rof2:

 

Go for the lungs and you will never have to track very far, regardless of where the "pros" shoot.

 

Both shoulder blades and yes, it is intentional. Obviously, this is for rifle, not archery.

 

Could it be they are missing?:claphands:

Center mass gets both lungs & they typically pile up within 100 yds. That's the shot I want every time I let fly.

 

so they hit both sholders but the back legs drop from under them?

...or squeeze trigger for that matter.op:

 

Most high shoulder shots I have seen on TV, they simply drop like a rock.

I personally aim for the heart.

 

oh well if you are talking with a rifle then yeah. i shoot for about 3 inches higher than where i used to. used to tuck the bullet tight behind the shoulder. move up 3'' and just put them down. i do it with a .243 with a bullet that most pros around would think is unethical. furthest i had to track on is the distance between the belly and the ground shooting that way. not sure what is up there that does it, but it is lights out. found the spot by accident 6 or 7 years ago. have taken 4 deer like that now before i stopped rifle hunting.

 

Shoulder shots are very effective with the gun. They either drop or does the run were he has no movement in the front legs.

My other post I was talkin bow. If he's big & wanna make sure he goes nowhere, then yeah, both shoulders & he's not going anywhere. Not much meat in the shoulders anyhow.
