So - where do you guys shoot them - up high in the neck ?

In 1999 I did a back country guided hunt in Montana. We went in about 70 miles north of Great Falls.

My guide was a family man that lived off the land. All meat was shot, nothing store bought. The only time they bought vegetables was in winter when they couldn't grow their own.

He was firm believer of shooting game high in the neck, and by the time I was packing up for home so was I.

It turns them Off like a switch, they literally drop in place and nothing is wasted.

-If you want to cape them out for a chest mounted wall trophy you'd be better off aiming slightly behind the shoulder - or the hide will have a big hole in the throat.
