Know the Vital Areas of a Deer

One of the most important steps in learning how to make a one-shot kill is to learn the vital areas of the deer anatomy so that you will know where to aim. No hunter should ever pull the trigger of his rifle on any big-game animal unless he is sighted-in on a vital area and is reasonably sure the shot will hit there.

The best way to begin to learn the vital areas of a deer is to study a vital area chart or a target which has the vital areas on it. Notice how low and small the heart is on the body of a deer. Most hunters think it is higher and larger. Memorize the location of the lung area and how the shoulder covers part of the lung. Note the locations of arteries, spine and liver. Take note of these vital areas of a deer standing looking at you and quartering away.

Although I have hunted for many years, reviewing the basics of deer anatomy is always a good thing as we enter into deer season. As ethical hunters we must strive for the perfect one shot kill.
