Hello from Gemany!

Was able to lease a mountain hunting ground (Bavarian Alpes) with roe deer, red deer and chamoise. Having no expirience in red deer hunting I want to know where to place the shots so that they won't go so far. Is it similar to roe deer into the boilerroom or what?

I hunt with .50 inliner with hp sabbots and sidelock ML .50 with PRB.

Regards

Kirrmeister

Yes that seems to be the most common. Although some (with high power rifles) profess shoulder shots in order to "break their running gears".
