[QUOTE="Mike Matteson, post: 2764850, member: 101791"] That what I would say. Poorly place shot. The poorly place shot could be for many reasons. Animal moved, wind, poor trigger control, bad rest, uphill or downhill angle, distances, buck fever, or all at the same time. One other is where to place the shot so it hits the lungs or heart and generally at the same time from any angles. I have done a couple of head shots and neck shots, not many. That's getting into a smaller area, and I don't like that. Some that's all they shoot is neck area. My hats off to them. Me I figure out where that heart is at and where to place that shot to intersect that area. I have done some poorly placed shots. Got back to far behing the liver in the gut area. I knew I hit the elk, but it didn't show it. It was in a herd. I figure him out and the next shot he went down for good. Sure enough it was poor placement of the first round. [/QUOTE]
