[QUOTE="Mike Matteson, post: 2929391, member: 101791"] I prefer heart lung shots. The vertical line that's create by the front shoulder is the magic line for me. I have taken deer and other animals quartering towards me or going away. I use Nosler BT and Accubond. Tried at partition 100gr in a 25/06. It made one entire side blood shot. Never used them again. I use weight from 120, 165, and 200 grain bullet in Nostler depending on caliber being used. My range is 500yds. Heart shots I have had to track them over hundred yards. Sometime not much of a blood trail with my 25/06. I have hit in the liver a few time. Shot one deer twice. First shot in the heart, 2nd in the liver. I have lost I believe one deer, Hit it in the guts. Track all afternoon to dark. He wasn't leaving much in track at any time. I have track lots of other in my years. Most I have found, but some I didn't. I hate it when I lose an animal, and most being somebody elses. I have taken the time to help others to track there animal, even if I didn't know them. [/QUOTE]
