[QUOTE="KillerBee, post: 1205362, member: 92476"] I have seen animals I have killed run off a ways too including a bear which I shot with two slugs at 13 feet, first shot emulsified his lungs second shot blew his liver out, he was a 400 lbs. black bear and ran quite a ways before he piled up. Trust me I understand your points of view and experiances, still I will never shoot a deer, moose or elk in the shoulders. Like I said earlier I hate wasting good meat. On the other hand if I were guiding people like you guys are and was bringing multiple hunters out that I did not know personally and had now idea how they shoot at live animals and only saw them shoot at a paper target pre-hunt, then I could see myself demanding that they take a shoulder shot. I can also say this with complete confidence there is not a guide on earth that would ever tell me how or when to shoot an animal. If I were to go on a guided hunt again, the guide would be instructed not talk or say anything when I was concentrating on my shot, after all it would be my hunt not the guides hunt. Went on only one guided elk hunt to date. While we were hunting the guide was in front of me walking. I asked him why was he taking the lead, he responded "because I am guiding you". I told him that he was hired to put me in the general vicinity of where the animals were, and that I was the guy doing the hunting, and I would prefer it if I took the lead, which I did. But that is just me, to each his own :) [/QUOTE]
