I would like to hear clarification on what folks mean by brush shot. If the deer in in an area that I can’t see him completely, if safe I pick a hole through said “ brush “if it’s one I want

I always identify my target before pointing weapon in that direction. That said with a 308 in my hands I will be able to see the deer with my naked eye before shouldering gun. With the 375 I my have heard the deer run up, but the brush is too thick for me to see it. So I glass the area and find the deer through optics. Now that I know it's a deer, I'll shoulder my rifle. But I can't see the deer without optics. That's some thick brush. I put the cross hairs where I want the bullet to hit and squeeze the trigger. I hit my mark every time. And in case the deer runs I'll have a good blood trail from the start with no meat loss. And it takes a good blood trail to find it in thick brush

Every deer I’ve shot with the 300WM drops right there.
I agree with Benjamin with the shoulder shot …..they drop like someone flipped the light switch off.

My season. Double lung....bow or rifle. To each their own. Just make it ethical and fatal.
