Considering a .35?

[one2many]

I can hit an apple at 100 yards with no problem. But there are too many variables when shooting a living animal in the woods. Maybe there is a little twig you can't see half way between me and the deer...maybe the deer moves his head a little right as you pull the trigger...a chest shot is a lot safer and kills the deer just fine.

a lot safer?? and your chest shot dont kill them like flipping the switch on their central nervous system.you keep tracking then chest shot deer in rifle season. i will save that work for bow season.
maybe it moves? wtf i thought they all stood still while we took aim
im happy you can shoot an apple. now work hard and someday you will trust yourself

2nd why the fuck would you take a chest shot on a squirrel?

Because my grandpa wouldn't give me another bullet that day if I wasted anything but what little meat's on the ribs. And I really wanted to get back out there and shoot another squirrel.

im not into squirrel brains at all

Cheeks. some consider them the best part of the little fuckers.

most animals cheek meat is the best cut,but not enough on a tree rat for me to care about

Take out both lungs, and Ray Charles could "track" 'em.

drop them where the stand and nobody needs to track anything.
i save all that work for bow hunting.

Take out both lungs, and Ray Charles could "track" 'em.

I've had the exception happen to me. Although I admit it was a high double lung, it went forever and the deer was another 200 yards beyond the end of the blood trail.

Most flop within sight, and the ones that don't are not that difficult to track.
And like I've said many times, and I'll say it one more, I trust my shooting 100%. What I don't trust is everything between me and the deer I can't control.
Head shots are unethical shots...period. You do what works for you and I'll do what works for me.

It was an archery double lung, my theory is (because when we went to roll the guts he was full of blood) that he bled internally, but ran out before it hit the new "overflow" hole I made.
I give all the credit for the find to my buddy, he was a blood hound on that deer. And I'm actually not sure about the dogs for recovery here.

the fuck they are.... period. i help out a company shooting city deer at night and all are head shots with small chambered,silenced rifles. they all go down with out taking a step. no suffering no pain no waiting for death. its done and over then
you havent been deer hunting enough yet or you are the luckiest mother fucker there is.or you dont seem to think you should limit the animals suffering. chest shooting is the most ethical way right?

i hate when that happens. glad you got him

[The Duck Hammer]

If you want a blood trail shoot them in the kidneys. All the blood has to go through there so it all has to come out.

Shooting city deer at night isn't hunting, so don't bring that shit into this.
I've been deer hunting for 9 years, so you make that call.
Minimal suffering from a lung shot...but a blown off lower jaw, thats suffering. And if you have been head shooting as long as you claim, I find it hard to believe you've never done it.

Well good for you then. It's gonna happen some day though.
When the hell did I say they flop?? I just got done arguing with TK about how chest shot deer don't flop on the spot.

[3legged_lab]

I think we can all agree on one thing: deer hunting is like masturbation

[rebelp74]

Nope, masturbation is much more enjoyable than deer hunting.

I was thinking rifle hunting and use Nosler ballistic tips that mush the lungs and generally drop the animal in its tracks or very close to it.

9 years you say?

I happen to agree with a lot of what you have written. You seem to have an unusually large emotional attachment to this argument. Let it go, there are lots of deer in the world. Jeff is trolling you, and you have taken the hook, line, and sinker.

No to head shots, IMO.
No to neck shots, IMO
YES to boiler room shots...and I aim for the heart.

[assateague]

I would also argue that aiming for the heart isn't that great of a shot, statistically speaking. It most certainly isn't anywhere near center mass, and is quite low and forward on a standing deer.

and it's fucking delicious, not sure why you would shoot one of the best cuts of meat in the animal.

[assateague]

I'd rather chew on bacon fat.

[(MT)Montanafowler]

also delicious!

hmm, gonna have to do chewy bacon fat wrapped deer heart someday...

That's the best part of bacon.
