[QUOTE="LB, post: 74918, member: 2721"] [ QUOTE ] A mule deer on the other hand must be hit in the shoulder because the way they bound instead of gait, they can make it away with 3 legs. [/ QUOTE ] Well, you got that part right and it blows me out of the water, to a certain extent because I have not killed that many elk. I know that a mule deer can (personal exp.) run a mile and a half with a broken leg, and I avoid that shot whenever possible. I have never advocated FMJ bullets, so I hope you didn't misunderstand what I was saying? But, due to the vagarities of wind and up or down hill angles, I find a shoulder hit (with a spitzer) to be a little dicy. Might be old-fashioned but that heart/lung area looks very inviting, to me. ie: nice and big. I'd rather not get into gut shots, that's not a fair argument, for either opinion. Good hunting.
