interesting thing:
the 1st pic shows the heart more or less right behind the front shoulder.
But, if you look at the circulatory pic further down the page, the heart sits a little further back, with some of it behind the shoulder but a
part of it back of the shoulder.
Which is more what I experience and thus always just clip the bottom edge of heart.
Thin king more into the shoulder is a better placement.
Just saying, different pics are still a little different, if only by inches, but it can make a difference between a square hit or only a partial.
Thanks for the link.

I haven't read this whole post, but I instantly thought of it when I did this yesterday.

was that the first shot or a follow up that hit the antler?
when I first saw your pic I thought you were trying to send a message of "stop debating and go kill one" ….heheheh

Hmmm several years ago I called in a bull from 4..5..kms while on a remote fly in lake in northern BC.
I managed to call him into just over 125 yards from the meat pole in our camp.
On examination I found a bullet hole through his antler very simmilar to your photo .
The hole was made by a previous hunter.....no one was currently at our lake...and the river, and other lakes were at least 5 kilometers away....
I posted the photo here on this website.

Head shot gone wrong. That's why I never take it. Margin of error and risk is too high for me although I can hit a loonie at 100 yds 4 out 5 times. It's that one time that I miss the loonie that deters me. But that's just me.
I personally wouldn't take a head shot. Pretty small target, too easy to make a huge mess (like shown above).
