When<\/strong> shooting at large game such as Elk, Bear, Deer, Pigs, etc., we are taught to aim at the boiler room (where the heart and lungs are).\u00a0 We are taught to never take headshots because it’s too small of a target.\u00a0 Every hunter has heard horror stories about wounding an animal in the head or neck and not recovering it.\u00a0 Contrarily, the area containing the heart and lungs is a large target, the weapons we use can easily penetrate the rib cage or shoulder, and it is all but a guaranteed kill if we connect.<\/p>\n
