I used to target a behind the shoulder lung shot. Had too many woundings with that point of impact. Then decided it was stupid to worry about meat damage on an African trophy and aim to penetrate the shoulder instead, and still damage the lungs or heart. Why worry about a bit more meat damage when the meat can't be brought home and the trophy fees are expensive.

The various "x-ray" African game shooting guides such as the one put out by "African Hunter" in the past, also tends to show the heart slightly more forward than for example European deer species. Perhaps there is a reason for the difference? Is this true, or ?
