I've never understood the POV. I think we all agree the easiest path for a bullet to hit vital organs is broadside through the ribs. It's the closest distance with the least resistance.

Why would that be a good strategy on does and not bucks. Bucks have more muscle mass and heavier shoulders, yet ppl want to shoot a buck where he is most protected. confused




I don't care how big an animal is, if his heart and lungs are destroyed, its going to die and I want a bullet that will reach those vitals, even if the angle isn't perfect.


bigger the deer the harder the the hit . on a big buck i like broking bones and making the heart and lungs look like mush . i like a quartering to or away , i get shoulder heart and lung and a pass through with what i shot . if i get the gut on the way oh well . if he raises he head i'll spine him if i need too .

i want does for meat , i want less/no damage to meat . in a blue moon losing a doe is no big deal .

i want bucks broke down and torn up , DRT if possible. a big buck running flat out can at times cover a lot of ground with a blowed out heart or lungs.

course thats what i like .
