My rule is to shoot for the shoulder. If you break a given animal's framework down, you break him down, pure and simple, along with everything else in between. Plus, bone fragments make excellent secondary projectiles.........

Expert advice and it works. I remember Allen's words to me to "break bone" when I drew a bead on my buffalo. I center punched him exactly 1/3 up the shoulder and he was done for even though we walked up and gave him two more while he was still standing but blleding quite profusely (man, that heart was spurting blood close to 20 feet!). If you look at the photo, you can see where the bullet entered right on that white patch on the shoulder(it was a 400gr Swift BTW). Every animal I hunt, the shoulder is my preferred point of aim and it works. Even though I am aware the double lung shot works, I don't like to chase them. Even while deer hunting down here in the south where brambles are very thick, a shoulder shots tends to anchor them and retrievel is much easier. yes it ruins more meat, but if I really, really want a good piece of meat, I go to Ruth Chris' jorge
