[QUOTE="younggun308, post: 5716808, member: 4042"] When I started deer hunting as a youth, that was the shot I almost always opted for. But I found myself lacking confidence in it past 50 yards—at the time the trigger pull on my rifle was awful. Since then, I’ve generally aimed for the top of the lower 1/3, just inside the leg bone’s curve. The deer usually “drain” and black out within 10 seconds, usually with catastrophic heart and lower lung damage. Had a doe run an impressive semicircle of 50 yards and an 8-point buck that made it just shy of 50 yards last ML season in that timeframe. But with a high powered rifle, I recover them all within 20 yards of where I shot them. With my trigger pull significantly improved, I’d opt for a shoulder shot at last shooting light. [/QUOTE]
