jro45,

Re "Thanks for the information as where to shoot large game "

Just to clarify my statement about the 5th rib. I am generally talking about larger DG
which is my case consists of Water Buffalo.

On an UNWOUNDED animal, I won't start with a Texas Heart shot - the most I will do
from the rear is "If I can see the 5th rib and everything else is good (ie, I'm feeling good with the shot),
I'll take it as I know I can make the shot AND that I am using enough gun but more importantly bullet
to get through to the vitals.

On a WOUNDED animal, I'll shot it from any angle as I generally have softs then solids
and once it's wounded, I generally keep shooting until it's dead.

Next time you scope some larger game, deer included (you can even do it on cows), have a look as it
quite easy to see once you know what to look for.

Anyway, hope this helps.
