[QUOTE="kcebcj, post: 194323, member: 10391"] What referred to as a “high shoulder shot” is not just a long range thing. When I was a kid my peers would jump my butt if on a standing deer I did not make a neck shot. I don’t remember when I learned that hitting at the base of the neck high in the shoulder was easier then the neck shot and put the animal down just as hard with little waste of meat. I think anyone who has shot a lot of deer and elk has figured out that it’s the place to aim given the opportunity. The reason it’s such a desirable shot long range is the fact that the animal drops in his tracks and you don’t have a crippled animal running around the mountain and it’s going to take you an hour to get to him. In fact I think it’s the only shot placement that is ethical at long range. [/QUOTE]
