[QUOTE="squirrelduster, post: 752498, member: 9736"] Good information in this thread. No matter the critter I always shoot them in the lungs. Normally a short tracking job and doesn't ruin much meat. Last critter I shot not in the lungs was a hog about 150 lbs and blew a softball sized chunk out of the top of his spine along with the top of one vertebrae. That had to hurt. I found him that evening feeding with a group of hogs. He wasn't even limping. I saw the hole in him and shot him the lungs. Shot an elk quartering towards me a couple years ago with a 300 win mag and it destroyed his lungs and top of his heart and he took off like I missed. Crashed about 50 yards later. They are tough animals. Big gun in the boiler room does the trick. Leave the high shoulder shot to the tv guys. [/QUOTE]
