This was the first hunt I did with @sthealthy and the first time I saw him shoot an animal. I was expecting the shot to be lower and a little more forward and so I thought the shot was less than perfect. But later (after discussing this with Ryan) I learned that Ryan hit exactly where he was aiming--the shot placement was intentional, not accidental. I have since watched Ryan drop many animals in their tracks with the high-lung shot placement. The shot does not ruin any meat and yet damages the nervous system near the spine. The shot causes severe bleeding and the animals drop and/or blackout immediately. Not every shot hits the mark; but when you close the distance to under 200-300 yards, shots like this are fairly simple to make. Long range shooting seems to be the thing-to-do nowadays... but it seems like we see more misses than ever. And the sad thing is, most of those misses could have been avoided if the hunter exercised more patience and just got closer to his target before shooting. I think we've shown that getting close is more deadly than shooting long-range--at least that's been the goal.
