Whats between the shouders?? Lungs! With bone/bullet driving thru them. Very ethical shot with guaranted recovery.

Are you kidding? Not a kill shot?That animal is dead almost instantly and everytime! That slug is like a grenade when it hits bone. The damage is truly devastating. Back peddling? Really? I have no idea how you could not consider this a killshot. Do some reasearch.
The shoulder shot is NOT considered a 'quick kill' shot....

Shoulder Shots
Some hunters prefer shoulder shots because they will disable game while also inflicting fatal damage to the heart or lungs. Even when no collateral damage occurs, a broken shoulder, or two, will bring down an animal, rendering it helpless. In my opinion, this shot should be reserved for dangerous game, particularly bears. While some hunters use shoulder shots on larger animals such as moose and elk, I find the resulting dispersal of bullet and bone fragments ruins too much meat. Having shot a whitetail through the shoulder last year, I can speak first-hand of the meat that was wasted.
Another thing to keep in mind when considering the shoulder shot is that if you shoot too high or too far in front, you’ve got either a clean miss or an animal with agonizing wounds. And if you shoot too low, you’ve got an animal with a broken leg that can still escape, only to later succumb to its wounds or predators
INFLICTING FATAL DAMAGE TO THE HEART AND LUNGS! How much better of a kill shot do u want? I have never had to put a follow up shot into a whitetail using this. And NEVER had one go more than a few yards with almost all going down on the spot. It needs to be broadside. Again whats between the shoulders? Think about it? Consider it whatever you want i really dont care. Enjoy your season.
So a 30-06 is not a valid gun for deer, got it.
Shot a yearling through the heart on the run with a full bore 12ga slug, all 4 legs went out on him, then bouced back up and ran again, no bang flop. Drilled a buck through the heart and both lungs with a Hornady SST slug at 50 yards, deer did not drop, went 50 yards with no lungs left in him.
You want to shoot them through the shoulders have fun with that, a lot of meat loss for nothing.
No projectile outside a cannot will guarantee a bang flop on a deer, you can claim whatever you want but it is obvious that you have not been around all that many deer shot when you claim that a 12ga slug will drop them in their tracks every time.
