Thread: My April

Great vids. On the subject of lost deer, a mate shoots at 'centre shoulder' as his normal aim point. The problem with it is that if the shot goes low it results in a broken leg and tracking etc. This happened to us again on the weekend. Mate broke the leg on a young stag that was thought to be a hind (not by me) and had to be followed. I didnt have a rifle with me and ended up killing the stag with my knife in a creek which was not fun and potentially dangerous.
I have had a chat with my mate. I think that with a shot behind the front leg, if it is low it will be either a complete miss or a heart shot. I know the high shoulder can be an 'instant drop' but it does have more risk of wounding imo
