Brain shot way too high with that green dot.

Just behind the eye if broadside, a light bit higher. In that photo I would put the bullet right in the eye. Or considering it appears to be slightly below the photographer, at the top of the eye lid, front half of the eye seeing the angle.

In this photo:

I would put the bullet slightly higher to destroy the arteries at the top of the heart, or the top of the heart itself. Those line of dots on the skin are very useful in determining the point of aim. Draw a line up from the back of the leg to the row of dots, and bang.

A 7mm round there of softer construction will do fine.

A hard bullet may zip straight through the lungs and not do enough damage.

An H-Mantle has a soft front half and a solid rear. I haven't used them.

If shooting a trophy where meat loss is not as needed, I might shoot a few inches forward to hit bone, especially on the opposite side.

The location of bone on the skeleton picture looks too far forward to me for the shoulder bones.

As for AfricaHunting.com, well they have lots of photos sourced from NE's with their brand logo plastered all over the photos. Wouldn't worry about infringing their copyright at all.

JM,

If you asked me three weeks ago I could have shown five decapitated fallow buck heads for bullet placement.

Good luck. Hope it works out. Should be in prime condition right now, but still growing in velvet. Still a two or three weeks till they rub, at least here. Maybe different in your area. One of mine may start sooner than that.

Had some 'fun' and practice chopping up my bucks after Christmas, two one day and three the next night. Got quite quick at it. Still need to improve the cuts though. I am going to look for a butchers diagram on where the best cuts should be made. If anyone has one or a link, please post. I just go by instinct and what looks and feels right. Looked at a video. Need more practice I think.
