I tend to shoot behind the shoulder because i know it works every time. Yes i might have to track the animal but i tend to take my time so to me, tracking is just part of it all
Mostly, my animal is dead within 100yds of where it was shot, but i dont pursue right away so really i just delay getting my animal

x2 If you aren't concerned about ruining meat then blast away at the shoulders and put a second round into it when it goes down. I almost always wait for a nice broadside shot and put a round behind the shoulder through both lungs. I don't mind tracking the animal because it's part of hunting IMHO. Besides, if they don't drop they usually run straight and not very far.
