While I prefer a clean head shot, I take vital shots 90% of the time. Those deer rarely stand still long enough to take the head shot. And yes the gut shots suck. LOL
Cool, thanks for all the advice. I dont have a weak stomach or anything, just wanted everyone's opinion. I just hope I get the chance to try it!! Thanks Again
as long as your shot doesnt rip through the gut, it doesnt smell all that bad. and the mess youve heard about with a vitals shot is the difference pulling the lungs out in one piece or scooping out warm jello. just cut through the diaphram and most of it falls out on its own anyway
One more reason not to take a shoulder shot is that deer are not big especially in the front end. Shooting through the shoulders ruins most of the front shoulder meat, why do it?
