[QUOTE="Spino, post: 155604, member: 6052"] Roe, I've had that happen to me with various huting bullets. It's gonna happen. If you are looking for instant death then aim for the neck within your comfortable range of accurate shooting ability. I don't like tracking a deer especialy in South Texas where the brush is thick and thorny. I have also expiremented with the high lung shot (between the top of the spine & lung) and this seems to expire the deer quickly/instantly ~ creates a shock to the spine. I have always used some type of bonded bullet though, so my exits have always been smaller than a quarter size. Using the types of bullets you mentioned you should have a much larger wound channel. Shooting them through the shoulder will proved you with a quick kill shot as well, but I wouldn't recomend you shooting them with a quick expanding bullet. Remember Accuracy kills and you are on track with that. If they take off after a lung shot ~ down here in TX we call it a "dead run" just give it a few min. as previously mentioned you'll get your deer. Just take your time and squeeze the trigger then go get your deer... [/QUOTE]
