Deer shot placement, what is your favourite and why.

Lungs or nothing. While I am very confident that I could slap a deer upside the head with easy out to 600+ yards I would never do it. When taking an animals life its all about ethics. I know 100% that when I drive a freedom seed through a deer's lungs its game over. Lung shots also provide a very large margin of error in the event things don't go according to plan. Headshots provide very little and IMO are unethical.

Totally agree.
 
For some years now I have been donating my harvested game to a cause. The building fills up with animals on the hook and it’s easy to tell apart the ones I shot from the rest. Most “hunters” have no business shooting at anything, they don’t even want to try processing what’s left after their schitty shooting , it’s just foul dog food.

So what's your preferred shot placement?
 
Right behind the front leg. They don’t go far. I’ve shot a few with my old 8mm-06, Sierra 150 gr. Basically beet soup inside, little or no meat spoiled.

It’s easy to malign new people but unfortunately it’s commonly referred to as fud behaviour. It’s one major reason our sport is dying. If that’s your goal then keep up the good work champ.
 
I like to pick 3 hairs out on the 2nd rib behind the shoulder point and then split the middle hair...and both front legs must be even with each other or I just plain dont shoot...not gonna ruin the of-side shoulder at all.

I like to select an individual tick that is unfortunate enough to have taken up residence outside the animal’s boiler room. Aim small miss small.

Thanks for the Thumbs up. I'll sleep good at night knowing that you approve. You are obviously an Ambassador of the sport from way back...hold on...here comes the bonafides.
Me, I am what I am. End up helping folks in my clan for the most part. I don't like Nimrods whom shoot too far and brag of head shots... main downfalls that I am self aware of. But unless I'm working...I put rounds downrange.
How many rounds you fire today Sporto?

60. Some handloads for my ancient 25-20. It’s a fun little small game zapper. Not sure why you seem to have an issue with me but if it floats your boat have at it tiny dancer.

Got a 25-20 myself, and a matching unit in 32-20...both Marlin 27's.
Got to haul some hay so I only put a couple dozen M43 downrange...a dozen Wolf 154 's and a dozen Igman 133 gr out of an M1891 Cooey Carcono LE.
AS far as having an issue, well when you sound off... but are new here...what did you expect?
And who called whom a Fudd? Don't think that was me...

You just said you took a shot at me because I’m new here. Textbook fuddyness. I’m just supposed to quietly accept your original insult because I have a smaller post count than you?
