    For most efficient shooting I was taught by the old man to aim for the hilar zone depending on distance.
    This pic I dug up from the forums, it's from Red Deer in New Zealand by Roger Lentle and Frank Saxton (which is a bloody good read if you're interested in deer stalking).
    From my experience with goats I would say the anatomy is pretty similar, just a smaller target.
