keith, I beg to differ, a good portion of my burger and stew meat comes from the shoulder. I'd MUCH rather dump it through the lungs, deer that are lung shot well are toast, through the ribs is my preferred shot. Don't take this the wrong way, it's an honest question, not trying to get the hackles up - How do you KNOW they were lung shot if you didn't recover them? Just curious. And apparently 358wsm is the authority on shooting deer and meat damage - most of the rest of us are making comments from our observations as well Scott. It's rather rude to imply that you're the only fellow killing deer and butchering his own.
