My favorite shot on the body is quartering away at enough of an angle that I can aim for ribs behind the foreleg and drive the bullet up through the legs to just inside the front of the opposite shoulder. They bleed all over hell, never go very far no matter what they are shot with, and little if any shoulder meat is damaged. The same shot reversed works the same, but I can't seem to miss the onside shoulder meat, and lose some meat. Other than those two, neck shots, neck shots, neck shots.


I belong on eroding granite, among the pines.
