I shot a nice ten pointer in the exact same place you are talking about this past rifle season. Run the crease up between the boiler and shoulder and then forward an inch or two. The first thing to hit the ground was his @ss followed by the rest of his body. There was no twitching or kicking. I believe he was dead before he hit the ground. If you really want to anchor a deer, normally a good buck, shoot them there. If I'm shooting a doe for meat, shoot them behind the front shoulder through the organs.
Smokin, I agree. I've always been impressed with a whitetail's desire to live.
