I know how to hunt. As most everybody on this site does. but here is my question. do you prefer a behind the shoulder shot, shoulder shot, or a neck shot. i have ALWAYS shot the shoulder, allowing more energy of the bullet to impact the vitals.. but different people have different views on this subject.

2 years ago i was hunting with my Mossberg using remington copperSolid slugs..... and being used to the follow through with my .270, and i made a shot in between 2 trees, and hit her just a little slow, and got her in the gut. she ran maybe 5 yards, dropped, and went to get back up, and my buddy finished her off with a 220 grain -06 round shooting through about 30 yards of brush. shot for the shoulder, hit her in the head. i would post pictures of it, but id end up getting 400 pages of hate mail...it was....pretty bad.... i just prefer to hit the shoulder, releases more energy into the animal, and makes for a quicker bleed out, thus a faster kill. although i dropped a doe the same year at 340 yards and with the 130 gr. Nosler BT, she didnt just, move, nothing. she just fell over. Not even a death kick!

. (less chasing, especially when hobbling about in a knee brace like I was doing at the time)

I all due respect this is a post that no one should repeat. Come on this is not what we try to pass along as good hunting tips here. Trying to shoot game animals in the head (between the eyes) with archery equipment is down right stupid, disrespectfull of the animal and in my opinion unethical hunting practices. This type of activity would surely lead to many wounded animals. Even Robin Hood couldn't make that shot very often and unless shooting straight down the arrow would simply slice along the scull and cut only skin then bounce off. The more I write the more mad I'm getting so I'll stop here.

I hear that HM......

The ONLY time i have ever had to make a head shot, was to finish a doe off that my buddies daughter had hit mid stomach. And yes i hunt, but i dont like seeing ANY animal suffer. and a 180 gr. .40 S&W HP put her down pretty quickly. But for somebody to come on here, and say that he would rather place one between the eyes, makes me pretty fried. I've done some stuff in my life that i live with on a daily basis. and for somebody to say that, i hope DNR catches your sorry butt. its people like that that ruin it for those of us that are ETHICAL hunters. i think ill stop typing before i have a coronary....
