As previously mentioned, Why is the "Deer clock" shot placement chart showing chest area as an option?,Further, Why is the chest area depicted in the D.S.C. portfolio's?,.................. Thanks, in anticipation.

I seem to remember being told that an expended mono round, had been found outside the normal areas provided for such items, causing some discussions at elevated levels, & the forestry people may have some concerns for such rounds within their industry, not having personal experience of mono's myself, I have zero capacity to comment further,I may try some in the future though. Steve.I think it may be because the front on chest shot is recognised as a feasible option, in certain circumstances if done correctly i.e. providing the issues surrounding and application of the shot are understood.
And... I did note you mentioning your point here earlier and perhaps like you I also noted no reply to your valid question. Just so's you know at least some of us are paying attention
ps. You being a shooting range person and all, ... the lead versus copper debate on another thread... monometal copper bullets and increased ricochet risk... any thoughts on or experience of this?
Biggest load of cobblers I hav ever read
Obviously a difference of opinion here but your preferred method of shooting deer is not for me. atb Tim

Having read through most of the posts on here it would seem to be a big difference of opinion on this matter.
From my point of view a full on frontal shot is not something I would ask of most clients to take. However for a seasoned pro who has a job to do a full on frontal shot only has two killing points, neck or head, but only if you are competant enough to hit the mark and it is not a ridiculous range. Therefore as a rule of thumb I can understand why many would not take the shot.
I have seen a few full on body shots over the years and most tend to make a hell of a mess inside the carcase, and will burst the guts. If this occurs the carcase is not fit to put in the general food chain, but may of course be consumed by yourself. I note the pictures of the Muntjac carcase and although it has not destroyed the haunches etc, it has without doubt made a bit of a mess of the sternum area. Granted there is not a lot of scope on a Munty, and whatever calibre you use most of the front end, unless head or neck shot is usually, but not always binned.
Such shots are down to the individual to access and take, so lets not pull anyone down for taking the shot, dead is dead there aint no inbetweens.

Gentlemen these sort of remarks do not do the site any good. Whilst I have no issue with people expressing an opinion, please try and remember that some of us are professional stalkers with a job to do, and others are recreational. The main thing with any shot is safety over and above anything else. Then the welfare of the deer we are about to take. Sometimes you have to make decisions quickly, and as long as the two rules are observed and the deer does not suffer sometimes it is a shot to take. BUT not one I would recommend if you want a good carcase at the end of the day.

I agree professional and recreational stalkers very often shoot deer for very different reasons. For the professional shooting several hundred deer a year. the turning of a given number of carcases into pet food is some times/often, given the circumstances, a secondary consideration to getting the job done.
Been there done that, even had the T shirt. That went in the workshop rag pile many years ago, all I have left of those days is the bad knee.

From that remark we can only concluded that you have never read any of your post. All 4600 odd of them.
Obviously the old but true maxim of better the quality than the quantity has passed you by all of these years.
I suggest that we just call it a closed topic from now on. Atb TG
