[QUOTE="dougduey, post: 1337790, member: 33159"] Read the article "Effective Game Killing-Parts 1 & 2" by Nathan Foster on this website. It will answer all of your questions. I was taught to shoot deer just behind the front leg and that typically ended up being a heart shot. Every deer ran even though they were technically dead. Had one run about 100 yards before it collapsed. When I gutted him, the heart fell out of the body cavity since the bullet severed it completely!! Double lung any animal and it dies fast. I changed my shot placement once I started hunting pronghorn since the meat is inedible if they run. High shoulder shot, or front edge of the front leg (as Nathan Foster recommends) to get the autonomic nerve plexus. They don't move if you hit them there. [/QUOTE]
