cutaway sideviews of animals?
Question:
Can anyone suggest a source for cutaway sideviews of animals? I’m talking about sideviews of your standard game animals – deer, pronghorn, elk, bear – that show proper organ placement. Books, articles, or whatever are fine. Thanks! -Annie Visit the rec.hunting and rec.hunting.dogs FAQ Home Page at: http://sportsmansweb.com/hunting/

You see one you’ve seen them all,, well basically this is true for all four legged creatures,, two legged ones as well mostly. Aim at the shoulder, or slightly behind, the heart lungs are there, and that is all that matters Visit the rec.hunting and rec.hunting.dogs FAQ Home Page at: http://sportsmansweb.com/hunting/

How close have you ever looked at a schematic of a wild boar? Visit the rec.hunting and rec.hunting.dogs FAQ Home Page at: http://sportsmansweb.com/hunting/

Are you telling me a wild boars lungs are not between the front legs? or it’s heart not there? Heck I don’t really know, as I have never dressed one out, if it is different fill me in on them, now when talking about the other organs, like liver ,stomachs, kidneys I could care less, as they are not my targets, but if they lay where the heart/ lungs are another game is located, I would like to know.

The bowhunters orgainzation and Krause Publications have a book with clear plastic overlays of the layers of different animals. Maybe someone out there has a current address for one or the other! Louis Visit the rec.hunting and rec.hunting.dogs FAQ Home Page at: http://sportsmansweb.com/hunting/

I found a very good schematic in an old German hunting book several years back, warning that the heart is a lot lower than one would expect — and apt to be behind that heavy shield just under the skin. I don’t remember whether the lungs were where I thought. Anyway, if I ever get to hunt boars, and they’re not being brought to bay by dogs, I’m going to get up a tree, or some place of reasonable safety — they’ll knock you down and disembowel you if they can — hope like hell for a quartering-away shot, and hold a shade low. (Of course, if I really do get a chance, I’ll re-check all this like my life depended on it, as it may ; and you should, too.) — Beartooth Visit the rec.hunting and rec.hunting.dogs FAQ Home Page at: http://sportsmansweb.com/hunting/

Yea, I know where the heart and lungs are, and know what the aiming point is, and have killed my share. I was thinking that a little more education on the topic might make me a better hunter, and might enable me to make more intelligent decisions about which shots to take and which ones not to take, when to sacrifice meat, when I don’t have to, etc. Ideally I’d be able to find some cutaway side and top views, even, so that I could study the angles and such. But I guess talking to a biologist would be more help. -Annie Visit the rec.hunting and rec.hunting.dogs FAQ Home Page at: http://sportsmansweb.com/hunting/
