[QUOTE="Bbear, post: 1337785, member: 7898"] Figure about 1/3 to 1/2 way down from the spine, just behind the shoulder area. At 1/2 you take out the arteries and veins of the heart as well as the front part of the lungs. Higher up (at the 1/3 point) you'll take out the lungs, the blood vessels coming into the lungs and possibly shock the central nervous system. Shots in either place should reduce the amount of running a deer will do. Though you say you don't want to ruin meat, I've always tried to put my shot where it will take out the off shoulder. Vast majority of deer when hit that way won't go much further then 10-20 yards. [/QUOTE]
