I prefer DRT for all the VALID reasons already explained. I make shoulder shots to accomplish this, and I don't apologize. I choose bullets that exhibit controlled expansion and assured complete penetration at the velocities my rifles obtain, and the meat loss is minimal. Some people eat the heart and liver and would consider a behind-the-shoulder shot wasteful. Some people mount the rack and would consider the head shot wasteful. Many people eat the neck meat and would consider that shot wasteful. We have to do damage to the animal to kill it. Call it "lazy" if you must, but not all of us are young bucks any more. Some of us have no cartilage where there once was cartilage, and just getting to the stand is tough. You choose your shots and I'll choose mine. In the end, it's the venison in the freezer that means anything to me.
