Thread: What is the most humane way to shoot a goat?

centrefire rifle...if wanting to put down in a hurry and arent confident with lower neck shot...aim to take out one or preferably BOTH shoulders...inside them shoulders is the lungs etc...picture a balloon between the legs..you want to pop it.....by taking out the shoulder bones you stop locomotive precess...ya cant drive anywhere with no front wheels..... goats are well known to scream if shot isnt spot on...its not pleasant so quick kill is desirable....
for maximum meat recovery the neck is preferrred,the hilar area (base of neck,through to both shoulders broadside on) is quick killing shot and gives more margin for error...plenty of diagrams on the net....too high still good shoulder shot...too far forward good neck shot...a LITTLE too far back,still in lungs/heart area.... if deer has a roughly 8-12" vital area here..goat has 4-6" .
