Yes you are looking at it correctly just same spot opposite side of the neck.

 Okay, I agree then. I would take the same shot. Or a different option. My choice would be easier though cuz I'm a muzzy hunter! :chuckle:

If I'm the caller then my arrow is going in the back of the ribs and coming out the pocket on the side we are all looking at in the pic.
unless i push you down and shoot over your shoulder ! plus id say the shooter has the shot . and if the bull is comming in why is he facing away from caller ?

I think what's going on here is Wapati had Bloody Mary's for breakfast when he made this one up :chuckle:  I'm getting what the arrows mean now.  Caller has the same view as we do looking at the pic.  Bull came between the shooter and caller. Callers wind is about to hit that bull in the face.  Given that scenario, me as a caller am not taking that angle. Sorry but that red dot has a high likelihood of one lung or deflection.  Theres a whole lot of structure to navigate right there on a massive bodied animal.  That shot has killed animals and it's also left a lot for the crows.  Straight on I'd send it.  You start quartering that angle and I'm staying off the trigger.  I'll try and make opportunity if he happens to pause or if I can stop him when he spins to leave :twocents:
It is foolish and wrong to mourn these men.  Rather, we should thank god that such men lived.  -General George S. Patton

Agree Karl.  Don't currently have I shot worth the risk to the animal.  Not worth it.  I would hope I can stop him once he turns or get on him again.  Would like to have the meat of that guy in my freezer though and him hanging at my place.

That red dot is real close to some heavy bone
