[QUOTE="RT2506, post: 1799418, member: 10178"] My big game is white tail deer. If at all possible I aim center of shoulder. Most of my shots are under 300 and with most of the rifles I use in these areas I zero them 3 inch high at 100 yards and that will allow the rise and fall of the bullet not to be over 3 1/2 inch high or low all the way out to 300 yards. I aim center of shoulder and 99.9% of the time they are laying where they were standing. The past 30 years I have hunting in east NC where if a deer gets out of the fields or trails between cut overs it is swamp or so thick you about have to crawl to find them. I don't relish crawling around in especially after dark in cotton mouth territory. Now I am hunting in the mountains of TN. I want them down on the spot or they may go off down a very steep mountain into a laurel thicket and be very hard to get out or you just may find someone else tag on it by the time you get to it. When it really comes down to it there is not really that much REAL meat on the shoulders of a deer unless it is a monster. Most of it is plastic like film. [/QUOTE]
