Hopefully, the question is clear enough. Just curious about preferences. Poll is anonymous. Vote to see results.

Edited to add "broadside" so it's not as vague.
 
I would chalk that up as "behind the shoulder."
Depends how the deer is facing you. None of these are behind the shoulder.

I can say that I decided to use .300 black subs this year. With that caliber I decided to go for heart/lung shots, it was very effective using hand loaded 190 grain hornady sub x projectiles. Both deer I shot went down fast, within 50 yards.
