Hello everyone,
I have a question about hunting for food in emergency situations. I have never hunted a deer or buck before. Never tracked an animal. With these conditions in mind, if a scenario came about where I had to shoot a deer/moose/elk to feed my family what would be the best place to land a shot.
A head shot is easier to miss but would drop a deer immediately correct? But with no experience with tracking, would this be better than aiming for a heart/lung shot?
Now I know I can always learn where to place a shot by reading articles,books and online. But learning to track needs experience. So what do you all think?
Rifle is a .308 if that matters.
Thanks for any opinions.
