You're right Lance. But that is a very cool picture nonetheless. If that is accurate, then I am aiming a bit above the heart most of the time. No big deal, if I hit high, it will still hit the spine which is good. If I hit low, it will hit the heart. Not as good, but it will work out too. If I have the perfect scenario though and the deer is close and seems to be frozen, then I will shoot him right behind and just below the ear. But only with tack driving rifles such as my 270 WSM or... preferably my .243.
If I'm only hunting deer or antelope, meaning no possibility of an elk being shot that day, my preferred rifle is my .243. It simply shoots better than anything else I have period.
