[QUOTE="LVJ76, post: 1569076, member: 108965"] 1)Double lung and heart 2)Throught the shoulder to vitals 3)Neck shot. Which one is correct? All hunts are different, I've taken several Desert Mule Deer with neck shots because that is all I see, all I saw was the neck, head and antlers, the rest of the body was covered by brush, and all shots were dead on, but I knew I could make them and I did. I once killed a coues whitetail with 3 shots on the boiler room, 3, no heart or lungs left, all literrally destroyed. The first shot he was standing at 375 yards, the following 2 shots when he was running, all 3 shots measured less than 4 inches in diameter and he still ran 100+ yards, he finalky fell before I fired a 4th shot, with a 270 using partitions. Were they unethical shots? No. I've taken that shot in multiple occasions including in the mulie in my avatar, at 175 yards with my 7x08 with 139gr SST, it fell where it stood the second he got hit. I've taken several where I've gone through the shoulder because that was the best shot I was going to get. If anyone thinks a deer won't run after a shoulder hit and the vitals destroyed? Think again, I've seen them run 70 yards on 3 legs. It is to each one of us to make the right and ethical decision on every situation we encounter, and will we always make the right one? Maybe not cause we ain't perfect. We all make mistakes, we flinch, we jerk the trigger, read the wind wrong, who knows, million things can go wrong At the end of the day, we each have to live with our decisions and hopefully knowing that we made the right one. We all have our way we hunt and we should respect it, whether we agree with it ir not. I saw some of you mentioned Nathan Foster and Ballistic Studies, if you are not familiar with his work, you need to, he has a world of knowledge to offer, get the books, they are worth it.
