Thanks for the replies, guess I will just go and see what's offered to me for a shot.

I like using the neck meat in stews and pressure cooker. Think I will keep my shots aft of the shoulder. 

Ed Brooks:
Good luck!

Eric Krewson:
I have never been able to figure it out, I can drop one deer in its tracks and hit the next one in the same place and off it goes. I think it is the adrenaline thing, a calm der is more likely to go down than one that is one alert.

I agree Eric.

Sleek if you hit em good you should be able to find em. If your in brush they probably won't go far. Look for blood on brush to. Not just the ground. Good Luck. Hope you fill your tag.

On a broadside shot you could aim for the upper shoulder about 2/5 down, 3/5 up. Essentially just above centerline squarely where you don’t want an arrow. A heavy 44 mag bullet will go right on through but breaking both shoulderblades and likely the spine on its way through while punching holes through the top of each lung. Atleast shocking it enough to make its legs fail if the spine isn’t hit directly. So most of the time will drop on the spot. If not, they won’t go far with both shoulders broke. It’s a shot placement for larger heavier cartridges and bullet. Which a 44 mag will do fine. Since that’s a lot of solid matter to go through. I like Ed Brooks train of thought too for the rainy days. Plus you don’t blow up the heart, which to me it one of the better eating parts.
