To make red stag
deer hunts successful, hunters must know how to make a quick and clean
shot. Since deer is an agile animal, you will need something fast to bring it
down like a rifle. A rifle is a great weapon for most animal hunts because
bullets have great kinetic energy, meaning they are fast, and create an immense
shock and tissue damage. Moreover, they can be useful even when the animal is
at a long distance. Besides having a perfect weapon and the proficiency of
using it, hunters must also know other hunting techniques. With the right
technique, killing a deer can be easy and quick. When you know exactly where to
hit the deer, you can easily and quickly aim for it and then wait for the
bullet to pierce the tissue and reach the vital organs for an instant kill.
Know there are a lot of ways to make a quick and clean kill, some of them have
been shared with you in this post and are listed as follows:
- Broadside Shot: It is tough to find
deer at a resting place. This animal is quite alert and sprints very fast.
To stop its movement, one of the best places to shoot at is its shoulder
and chest. Shooting the animal in these areas will most likely result in a
broken shoulder. If your aim is more precise, the bullet might even
penetrate its lungs and heart, thus forcing the animal to drop dead in its
track.
- Quartering Angle Shot: This shot is
yet another great one for hunters on red stag deer hunts. For this
shot, you must aim behind the front shoulder. Shooting at this angle will
allow the bullet pass through the animal's vital organs such as lungs and
heart.
- Head and Neck Shot: Head and neck are
other great areas that can instantly leave the animal defenseless. This
shot is difficult to nail but will leave very little to no damage on its
meat. Nailing this shot requires quick reflexes, great aim and experience.
If you are not so much experienced with such shot but want to give it a
try, then aim for these areas when the deer is within a shorter shooting
range.
- Rear End Shot: Hunters neither prefer
nor recommend rear end shot. This is because it can damage the best cuts
of venison. But if you want to bring the deer down at any cost, this shot
isn't too bad.
- Straight On Shot: Hunters can take this
short easily. The best areas to target with this shot are head, neck and
the center of the chest. These body areas are vital and can bring down the
red stag easily.
The above listed techniques
can bring exceptional success when you go for red stag deer hunts provided you
use your weapon correctly.
