Best shot is behind the shoulderblade, through the heart... the deer will run for a time.With rifles the only reason I would allow a deer the ability to run is if I wanted to mount the head and therefore I would aim for the same target as above.If the rack isn't worth talking about or the deer is a doe I aim for the neck. Of all the deer I hit in the neck, not a single one ran. Of all the deer I missed my target (the neck) all ran a distance up to a mile. Yes, following a wounded deer is the dumbest thing you could do, in most circumstances.Archery is by far more difficult and therefore more sportsmanlike, however I found quite a few deer with shafts and arrowheads still lodged in their bodies which is cruel by my definition.-Telor</blockquote>
