I don't usually wait for a broadside shot. If it comes first, then I'll certainly take it, but I generally don't waste a lot of time waiting for it.

That said, I like clean kills. I want quick, and I want clean. Anything that perforates the intestines isn't going to be considered clean, and the same holds true for the bladder.

Neck and chest shots are the norm. From a rear angle, I'll usually break the neck or wait for a quartering shot.

And I don't think I've ever failed to get a deer because of passing on a shot angle.
