shot placement

[kyhareraiser]

just curious as to where everyone favorite shot placement is on whitetail deer . i usually am a heart/lung shooter and had no problem putting the deer down,however and old timer told me the best shot is to aim high shoulder to break it down fast or if the deer was for meat not trophey a neck shot works well too. i know,,if it ain't broke,,don't fix it..just trying to get some other opinions

I am for the shoulder -- if the deer is quartering away, I am for the far shoulder; and if it is quartering toward me, I aim for the near shoulder.

Where I hunt I can get a kill shot in under 30yards..I aim just behind the elbo and just above it
It takes the heart out of action they most often drop in a Half step.

Anytime I can place the shot in the vitals, is where it goes.

I have killed a few hundred WT deer and I have found that entering on exiting a shoulder is the shot I want. Most of the time they drop in their tracks. I prefer a broadside shot in the center of the shoulder about 1/3 of the way down from the top of the back. Bang Flop. I sight my rifle in 3" high at 100 yards and that gives me a point blank hold out to 350 yards where I will not be over or under POA 3.5" and just hold center of front shoulder and with my 25-06 or 264 Win mag they usually drop in their tracks.
