[QUOTE="TwoMore, post: 1349149, member: 95166"] I shoot deer in the shoulder all the time, I usually try for a high shoulder shot. its the best way to drop them, with the right bullet selection there will be little meat waist, we do hamburger or sausage on front shoulders any way. and like I said with a good bullet choice on the chambering will produce a quick death. Here in the south a Whitetail deer may run several hundred yards double lunged or heart shot and vanish in nasty thickets. If the shot is high in the chest cavity the blood trail can get thin quick. I chased this big 7 point all year and when I finally got a shot it was on a thin power line and I couldnt take a shoulder shot and had to double lung him,I tried to scoot just under the spine but I hit about 2 inches or less to low but it vaped both lungs, hung pink all over the ground and trees behind him, he had a very nice exit hole, he dropped, got up and ran 300 yards like a rocket and the blood trail vanished, luckily he was on a trail and I found him, I was using Antler insanity while tracking . I shot with a 7 wsm 168 berger and I have shot many many many deer with that rifle and it always produces, but I prefer a high shoulder shot. [/QUOTE]
