Im not big on this thread but have to go with TJ, Rack and the boys on this one. Ive seen just as much meat wastage from shots behind the shoulder as ones through the shoulder. Ive seen animals hit in the exact same spots but with different bullets out of the same gun that caused extreme damage to meat. Had nothing to do with where it was hit. Alot of variables dictate what happens to the flesh when bullets hit.
When I shoot im more worried about loosing an "animal" than wasting a couple "steaks".
No matter where anyone of the experts on this thread shoots their animal they should be shooting for a clean kill out of the respect for the animal not shooting to save a steak out of respect for their stomach!
If that clean kill happens to wreck a couple extra steaks then oh well, at least the animal didnt suffer or run off and die somewhere and not be recovered.
The other funny thing is all the experts that have hunted for years and shot tons of animals but never had an animal run off or pulled a bad shot! Anyone that hunts very much for very many years and shoots many animals will have that one bad shot or that one animal that they couldnt recover. Its gunna happen, and if you say no then you either havent hunted much or you are full of ****!!!!!!!
