I have you beat by 4 years and just killed my 55th elk. Over 100 whitetails both archery and rifle. Add in bears, moose, antelope, lions and wolves.
The only "no mans" exists in the minds of the guy that made a piss poor shot. Shot behind the shoulder? I doubt it. High behind the shoulder generally means above the spine. Anything lower is dead. Its like a guy I work with told me about a deer he lost with his bow. Hit it "perfect" but a "little far back". The two phrases don't/can't go togerther.
