When watching the so called pros on TV, I frequently see them taking shoulder shots. It makes me question their mentality. So what are your opinions? By the way, I always shot Hornady SP bullets and never the Nosler type.
With a few exceptions I'd bet those boys only take the head/horns home and donate the rest. The important thing for the camera is to get a DRT shot or one that won't run far so they can get the "kill" on film. Taking the shoulder first will make sure the critter won't get far.
My choice of shot is just behind the shoulder ... double-lung. Although I've made a few high neck shots when they don't give me a broadside.
