Where to Shoot a Deer
(lemmy.world)
This is the most random guide I’ve seen in this community.
Is it not cool to know where to aim for a clean shot when hunting?
I don’t think I’ve seen hunting content on Lemmy before, but who knows, maybe there are people who are interested in it. I have never hunted, but I guess I technically learned something from it myself.
I personally do hunt for meat, and it is very important to kill cleanly in one shot.
I'm interested in it.
I've never fired a weapon at a live animal larger than a house fly, but I have played hunting games and this is useful information.
Why not aim for the head? Is it too hard to hit?
Generally, yes. A deer's head is much more likely to move than its torso, so its more likely you'll miss. Worse yet, you could hit the deer and miss the brain, just injuring it.
A safe shot is as depicted, hitting the heart and/or both lungs.
Another point is that your weapon of choice pretty much doesn't matter. This guide can be used for everything from spears to high powered rifles.

Information should be easily accessible without unnecessary navigation. Guides can include flowcharts, step-by-step instructions, or visual references that compare different elements side by side.
2. Infographic Guidelines Infographics are permitted if they are educational and informative. They should aim to convey complex information visually and clearly. However, infographics that primarily serve as visual essays without structured guidance will be subject to removal.

4. Source Attribution If you know the original source of a guide, share it in the comments to credit the creators.
5. Diverse Content To keep our community engaging, avoid saturating the feed with similar topics. Excessive posts on a single topic may be moderated to maintain diversity.
6. Verify in Comments Always check the comments for additional insights or corrections. Moderators rely on community expertise for accuracy.
