[QUOTE="snox801, post: 1511830, member: 54383"] I can add to this I was hunting this week in IL and shot a nice big body 8 with my 20 gauge HR. Buck came through pretty quick and when I grunted at him to get him to stop I shot. Not very far maybe 40 yards. I hunt a field so my poi was a high shoulder shot. He dropped so fast I couldn’t believe it. Beans where still o the field so I could not see him at all. After reloading I heard some rustling and figured he wasn’t dead so I ran out and sure enough he was very much alive and bleeding but not enough. So I finished him off. This was not a lack of wind call, to small caliber or any of that. Just a high shoulder shot. I really never knew about the high shoulder shot before this forum and never really tried to place a shot in that area. I was actually shocked that my deer was still alive after that short amount of time I sat and waited. This thread has been a good read for me as I’ve never experienced that shot placement with that result till just now. [/QUOTE]
