School me on this shot I’ve always been a behind the shoulder guy but deer usually run 50-100 yards, I’ve shot does in the neck with good results, I hunt in fairly hilly steep terrain and would rather them not run if possible, if someone could post some pics of where to aim that would be great

the danger with high shoulder shots is shooting too high. Shot too high a deer will usually immediately fall, only to jump up and run off. Usually not recovered.

I try to shoot through both shoulders. Works for me

If broadside and possible , I always take the high percentage shot, most forgiving shot, a line straight up the back of the front leg , 1/3 the way up the body. That's a kill zone the size of a basket ball. I don't care if they run 50 yards , they're dead.

Shoot with a rifle same as with a bow. Think of the chest , lungs and heart as a basketball , what do I do to make the bullet or arrow go through the center of the ball.

If In a spot that I’m afraid he’ll death run off the mtn or a bluff.

Been there , done that.

Is it time to put up the annual image of the Deer with the shot numbers all over it ?

Where the point of the shoulder blade is will be the place to shoot
It breaks both shoulders and damages the spine and the deer is always DOTS
