Probably one of the most unethical shots to ever try, never attempt this.
If your that desperate to take down a living creature this way you need to find another sport.
I have seen a few shot this way by accidents from other hunters and they do drop, but shoot 4 inches to low it's not hard to figure out where you nailed it.How would like to be shot in the nuts and die a slow death.
Next time you get your prostate checked and as puts his finger up there ,just imagine a 338 bullet entering that spot and you will never ever take a Texas heart shot.
I love hunting a lot ,but I love the animals out there ten times more then hunting, so hurting one is way off my list.
