[QUOTE="WildRose, post: 2650622, member: 30902"] Bullets don't have to be deflected to be ineffective and the scapula isn't "the shoulder", it is part of the shoulder. [ATTACH type="full" alt="1667034465110.png"]405707[/ATTACH] The other main part is the humerus and if it isn't broken with the bullet just passing through the scapula and failing to expand without striking the spine a bull is just going to run off and may not even look injured. [ATTACH type="full" alt="1667034599951.png"]405708[/ATTACH] The scapula itself is so thin that if that's the only bone hit a whole lot of "tough" bullets will fail to expand at all or only expand minimally. Understanding the anatomy of large game animals is certainly not required to be successful but it sure helps a whole lot to understand what key/vital structures are where particularly if you can actually place a bullet at the intended point of aim.
