[QUOTE="J E Custom, post: 226552, member: 2736"] I'm sure that I'm not the only one that feels That there is no one best place to shoot a game animal. There are many variables that determine where the best place to hit an animal to achieve the best results. If your in a very difficult place to retrieve an animal if it travels after the shot then a neck or high shoulder shot Is what I would use (Also if it was a once in a life time trophy the shoulder is not as tricky at any range) and meat loss is not the main concern. If your meat hunting behind the shoulder (Heart/Lung area) is the preferred placement as long as you can see/track for 3 or 400 yards and if range permits a neck shot is also a quick kill. Also sometimes the type of bullet your using dictates shot placement for the best performance with that bullet. So in my opinion the decision should be determined based on all of these parameters. And when one makes thier choice they have to live with the outcome. so choose wisely. Just my 2 cents J E CUSTOM [/QUOTE]
