Out of all your game taken with the Grendel how many where high shoulder shots versus a meat saver shot?

We always strive for meat saver shots intot he boiler room. I cant think of a high shoulder taken shot. Will try this on the upcoming coues deer hunt in a couple weeks. I guess your asking if this round can anchor them down or drop them on the spot a ranges over 200 yards. If this is so, then let me come back with the results in a couple weeks.

Well this weekend we had alot of good success on our youth deer/javalina hunt. We had 3 deer tags and 3 javalina tags. We filled 2 deer and 1 javalina. However the 2 deer were taken with a 6.5creedmoor Christensen rifle at 270 and 250yds. The Javalina was taken with the same elk slaying grendel at 203yds 1 shot and DRT off a tripod shooting down into a canyon. Unfortunalty no deer were harmed with the grendel this deer camp.[ATTACH=CONFIG]20118[/ATTACH]

This was a great weekend, really tries your patience hunting with teenagers. However I think this is how all them hunting mentors or dads go thru when teaching kids hunting skills. Im taking my wife and bro in law coues deer hunting this coming weekend so will report back if we get shot with the grendel.

I just watched this Backfire video a couple of days ago. He sure seems to make the case for a high shoulder shot.

No deer were harmed this recent trip. Just could not get on them. Unfortunatly the season here is just open for late archery now. I could blast a coyote with the 6.5 but thats about it.
