[QUOTE="RT2506, post: 961807, member: 10178"] I am a shoulder shooter on deer. Into or exit a shoulder on angling shots. If you think the heart and and all the lungs are behind the shoulder you need to take a good look at the inside of a deer in the position it would be standing up. The heart is right behind the lower part of the front shoulder/leg and half of the lungs are also. Unless a deer is really big it does not have enough REAL meat on the shoulder to fool with. The triceps is usually not really messed up on the deer that I shoot. Hitting the shoulder imparts a lot of shock plus bone fragments and expanding jacket usually gets the heart, lungs and the underside of the spine. I lost count how many deer I have killled loooooog ago but will say it is in excess of 400. I used to help do crop damage control with a buddy for a few years. I do not like to have to go into the THICK SNAKY jungle of east NC trailing up a deer in the dark. Most of my hunting is done in the last 2 hrs of light in the evening. I shoulder shoot them and 90% of the time they drop in their tracks and those that don't are not far away.:D [/QUOTE]
