[QUOTE="86alaskan, post: 1114022, member: 75933"] I like the head on center chest shot, catch the top of the sternum if possible and it delivers a ton of knock down right to the heart area. Or if the head is down right forward of the shoulder junction on the top of the back, they fold up and there is very little meat damage. I guess it all depends on angle and distance. I really hate to pin the shoulders because with a 25-06 at less than 100yds there is a lot of bloodshot meat and damage. I really like a quartering shot where I can send one between the front legs, nail the heart and a lung and avoid all that meat damage, much like a bow shot. [/QUOTE]
