[QUOTE="nicholasjohn, post: 1896975, member: 109113"] There are lots of situations where I prefer a shoulder shot. Sometimes you need to knock them down right now, so they don't run onto a neighboring property where you can't go to drag them out, other times maybe you don't want them to run down into some nasty canyon where it's tough to pack them out. Where I grew up, there were so many deer hunters in the woods that if you didn't knock the buck down on the spot, somebody else would be taking your deer home with him. A shot through both shoulders generally took care of that problem, but there goes a bunch of eatin' meat. Often the shoulder is all you can see through a small hole in the brush, and it's a shoulder shot or no shot at all. [/QUOTE]
