Anyoen have a reference for the consensus kill zone of deer, elk, moose, antelope?
I hear various things, between 6-10" and of course ideal shot is much smaller, more just thinking paper ballistics.
Thanks.

An Elk is right around a 10in, so take the rest from there!

I would think that Alaska moose would provide from 12" to 14", but the center of such zone (from the top of the heart to the center of the lungs) may provide faster killing speed. This is true at least with the moose I have killed.

No hard data to go by, but personally Ive always used my ability to hit a 8" paper plate as my "yardstick" as it were.
