Lung and heart shots. Longest Shot was 117 yards ,,,,, by the range finder The 35 Whelen just kills the hell out of them Frankie's Page

I had a custom gunbuilder (mostly benchrest builds) ask me about typical deer shot distances. Really, unless we’re in man-made clearings, most shots in AL will be under 100 yards.
