[QUOTE="Sealesniper, post: 2938083, member: 20769"] To me, shoulder is a solid shot, but there is always the chance the deer can carry it off it a little back. 1.5-2" in front of the shoulder is the brachial plexus. You hit that and lights out, every time, even with a Berger. Depending on the area I am hunting, distance, and size of the deer, I will opt for the most ethical, consistent and makable shot. Down east in Hyde county where once you are off the trail, you are crawling or bull dozing to get anywhere, brachial plexus or I don't shoot. If the deer carries off your shot, the bears will have him before you can track to him. [/QUOTE]
