I’m a simple guy, I just shoot them in the front half. There’s important stuff in a lot of places from the center of the ribs forward and all of it works. I’ve shot them in the neck, head, shoulders, armpit, it all works. And with tough bullets I rarely have issues with meat loss. I figure that if you miss an opportunity by avoiding the shoulder and waiting for a broadside shot you’ve lost a whole elk’s worth of meat. If you smash a shoulder you might loose 5 pounds, YMMV. This, plus whoever said I use a real elk rifle. And Partitions. Only ever got to hunt them a few years. Same applies to deer.

Not all ribs have lungs adjacent to them.
Both front legs do.
