AFRICAN GAME SHOTS -SHOULDER,NECK OR HEART LUNG??
03/03/07 02:01 PM

With broadside whitetail shooting I generally try to smash a shoulder to put the animal down and decrease the tracking.Smetimes I even neck shoot when the animal is close, stationary and partially obtructed by branches then try to followup with a heart lung shot quickly.

Obviously,Buff and Ele should not be purposely shoulder shot broadside due to the chance of poor penetration to the lungs and the danger of tracking a wounded animal.Do any of you out there shoot them this way and if so with what?

Plains game and leopard/lion would seem amenable to the broadside shoulder shot to the lungs to anchor the animal or the neck shot if no other decent shot is avasilable.

What is the forum thoughtand experience on this?
Smack 'em in the shoulder to put them down or heart/lung them and track them as needed?
