I just prefer them to be looking forward & lay the cross the horizontal crosshair on the brown/white patch line.

Let me put it this way, when aiming for the neck, are you aiming for the center of the neck (when broadside) or top 1/3 of the neck or something different?

Exactly what I do too. IF they're broadside with the head facing broadside also, I shoot right dead center of where the lower edge of the ear hits the neck... That sure makes cuttin' their head off when you're done skinning.

Dad always taught me center of the neck, half way down (from the jaw to the body) or higher. That way, the impact of any shot is a DRT and any miss is clean. On a similar note (respect for the animal), I was taught to clean up the animal as much as possible for the LDPs. Push the tongue in, remove it from the blood pile, entry hole facing camera if nasty exit, etc.Last edited by BlackHogDown; 10-11-2019, 03:07 PM.
