I was wondering what shot placement most of you go for. Do you go for a high shoulder shot or do you aim behind the front leg and go for a lung/heart shot?
I have shot all of my elk and deer with a lung/heart shot so as to not waste any of the front shoulder meat. I have never had them go too far after the shot, so I never really thought too much about an alternate shot placement. But I have recently seen some TV shows/DVDs where they were taking a high shoulder shot. All of the animals hit with the high shoulder shot went down like they were hit with a sledge hammer.
I'm just curious if one method is preferred more than the other, or is it more of a "Ford vs Chevy" kind of argument?
