[QUOTE="saw, post: 1735481, member: 5053"] I did some work for the state shooting deer. The thing that was apparent was deer are tough. Although some variables do apply but the shot that takes out the nervous system will be DRT. The heart lungs shot is a guaranteed kill but may occur 80 - 100 yards away. This wasnt good in the work I did as doing into another's property was bad. There heart lungs is a bigger target. The high shoulder shot which hits the spine at the top of the top of the ribcage puts the animal DRT. Rifles kill by using hydrostatic shock. This is where the design of the bullet comes in and also the angle the animal stands to make sure the shock after hitting the animal is able to transfer enough energy to the organ or spine to damage it to the point of causing a disruption of function. This is why heavier bullets are many times preferred they transfer more energy. So IMO shot placement, is number 1 but knowing your rifle and ammo are all crucial. [/QUOTE]
