It provides readers a great overview of better shots to take. I drop a buck with a 30-06 in the neck with no problems in 2021. Great material!

When you hit the center of the neck, it snaps even if you miss bone by a couple inches. If your missing by more than that, you probably need some practice or take a better shot.

Although I love to hunt, I am a humane hunter. I was brought up around livestock butchering our own beef and hunting annually to fill the freezer. The “Code of the West” dictates that if you can’t kill cleanly and quickly in one shot, then don’t take the shot. Although animals are a very important resource to our survival, they should not suffer! That’s one of the reasons why we carry forearms with us into the field. Think your way through every shot as if life depends upon it … because it does. I normally aim for the heart because, even if I miss, I’m still hitting the lungs. Hunt and shoot responsibly and leave the ego at home.

I can agree on every point covered and had absolutly zero to add.

Getting ready for deer hunting after putting the guns in layup for a while. Having been a while, this was a good refresher on shot placement. Plan to commit your article to memory, have read it several times and plan to read it several more before my hunting trip. Thanks, Gary
