[QUOTE="snookntarpon, post: 1118624, member: 31823"] I like to shoot them mid body right above the leg. Break both legs. I like to err on the forward and high side as this tends to result in more DRT. Also like quartering a little towards or away, and I aim to break the off side leg/shoulder. The traditional behind the leg shot is deadly but i like to maximize the DRT instances, and behind the leg that is rare. Have no concern for lost meat when bones break as I always prefer a freshly hung deer than one i recover the day after. Nathan Foster has a great database on bullet performance (basllisticstudies.com) but an even greater chapter on shot placement in his book The Practical Guide To Long Range Hunting Cartridges. A must read, and I say that after reading it for the third time. It was the last chapter i read as I thought it would be a waste of time. After all, I have killed close to 200 heads of big game and I'm not going to learn anything new about shot placement. right? Wrong. Read it. SNT [/QUOTE]
