"Anchoring" Shots

[loganwayne]

I dont like to shoulder shot a deer to much meat wasted. I like smoking the shoulder whole.
I'll do it with a muzzleloader and/or if I think it will cross a property line.
This buck i shot with a muzzleloader at close range 10yds or less. But I shot for shoulder because I was edge of property and didnt want to track it. Exit hole is in the front below the neck both shoulders were exploded

Always shoot shoulders...I like to eat the heart too much to take a chance of hitting it..

Best anchoring shot is in the ear or white patch.
