Yea me to steelhead, front shoulder on deer are not what I call a favorite piece of meat so I don't care if they get banged up some, I save what I can. They don't leave the scene if popped in the shoulders and that's a plus hunting where I do. I have always just thought that people worrying about loss of meat so much that they change bullets even though the animals die quickly was funny.

If you don't mind trying to find a buck after he goes into thick cover then there would be no need to shoot the shoulder. For those who worry, how many pounds of shoulder meat do you think is ruined from a shoulder hit?
And last but not least, how many animals do you think you actually killed, but didn't know for sure if they were hit because you lost thier trail after 60 yards of thick brush?
