[QUOTE="nmbarta, post: 1489836, member: 78438"] I shoot between 4 and 5 but back about 5 inches. I like to eat them so I tend to stay back just a bit. The heart is my favorite part, so I missed if I hit that! I also think they eat better if you can get a shot that doesn't shut the pump off too soon, just a quick as far as the kill goes, but allows for more blood loss. This is why I don't shoot for head or neck, spine/brain shots don't allow for them to bleed. There is a real reason why all domestic animals a bled out when they are butchered, leaving the blood resting in the vessels doesn't make for good eating. I'd shoot just in front of 2 if I didn't want him to get across a nearby fence. [/QUOTE]
