[QUOTE="agelessssone, post: 5717008, member: 15891"] I've been shooting the high shoulder shot for the last 15 years. I shot a buck there years ago ( just a lucky shot as he was running). When I covered the 70 yds, he was still alive but immobilized, finished it with a pistol. Next day I had a standing target (and a hay roll for a rest) at 90 yds so I took the high shoulder again (.280, 140 gr HP) and again, dropped right there and had to finish. Since then, if I have the right rest (I mostly hunt from a hang on) and a slow or stationary deer, that's my shot placement of choice. No tracking needed, just want to get down and finish the job. Muzzleloader the same. Pistol, center mass in the ribs, no more than 40 yds though. [/QUOTE]
