Disagree. Lung shots are the type of shot where "dead deer" will actually run furthest. It is one of the least likely shots to drop a deer where they stand. Even with a heart shot the deer can run. The only 2 sure fire drop em where they stand shots are spine shots and brain shots.
@@gaborkorthy8355 Agreed. The lungs are still the biggest portion of the vital zone, and offer a high probability of death if not always immediate. A good spot to aim, no doubt.
Neck shot my deer for years this morning shot my biggest buck ever in the neck knocked it down it laid there over a minute then it jumped up ran about 40 yards fell again still haven't found him and very little blood. Any suggestions
Shot my biggest one today too in the neck usually they just drop but this guy ran away and only found one decent spot of blood but no deer, going back tomorrow to look for him can’t believe it run away let alone not have any blood, let me know how you make out
@@gagelocke8167 mine did the same thing I never found him. I guess that's what I get for changing bullets. I have always shot Hornady American whitetail. My buddy talked me into trying the Barnes vortex. Never again I'm back to shooting Hornady this morning neck shot a good 8pt. He never moved .
I neck shot a doe a few years ago. She knocked her down stayed down about ten minutes got up and ran off leaving a very good blood trail. I tracked her for two days , huge pools of blood and never found her !
Biggest suggestion: don't aim at the neck, regardless of ammo. I've lost some that way myself. The target is just too small. Lungs every time for me. It may run but never far and always a good blood trail.
Light caliber high shoulder drops where they stand. I've literally had dear fall over like they have been pushed over. Yes you will blow up shoulder meat but if you use a 308 or smaller your back straps are normally fine and it's just one shoulder that's less than desirable anyways.
Ugh! This presentation with the poor diagrams/schematics is inaccurate as well as misleading and is likely to lead new hunters to wound deer. Respectfully, your staff needs some experience. NEW HUNTERS: TAKE YOUR STATES HUNTER ED. COURSE AND LOOK AT 3D MODELS OR ACTUAL DEAD GUTTED DEAR. PICK UP A ROADKILL IF YOU HAVE TO IN ORDER TO SEE WHERE THE HEART AND LUNGS ACTUALLY SIT IN AN ANIMAL.
Some of the rifle shots all depend on bullet grain/weight in my opinion 180grain + typically any vital shit whether it be lungs neck heart the deer is down for good
