[QUOTE="Rich Coyle, post: 1017275, member: 70559"] Jungleexplorer, I have heard a word to the wise is sufficient. I will take your rebuke to heart. But I must bring up a point that may seem like a personal attack. That is we are on a [B]long range[/B] hunting forum. This year I killed my buck at 276 yards with a head shot. If you add a hundred yards to that there is no I would try for a head shot. At that range and further the chest becomes a small target to me; and perhaps to many here. I will go with personal experience and answer the points. Point one. I have never seen a chest shot deer or elk get away. My opinion does not establish any facts for others. Point two. I have seen only one dead deer in the woods that I or someone with me didn't kill. It was a cougar kill. Point three. When I used to process my deer I didn't fool with the rib cage. Therefore there was no wasted meat. Again my opinion does not establish any facts. Points four and five are covered in the above about this being a long range hunting forum. Point six is irrelevant to me. I still have to reach up inside a dead animal to get the inards out. The deer mentioned earlier in this post still got blood on my hands and arms. Again sorry to seem like I attacked you personally. Your post is the only one that had a lot of specific points I could enjoy responding to. I hope you enjoy hunting and posting this and every year.
