Going by your diagram, the last few deer I have shot have all been in the Corotid-Neck area, however this was mainly due to the angle they were to me. I have found through years of hunting that this is a very good area to aim for especially when cover is thick and light is dim. All of the deer I have shot in this area simply face planted and were done. The bullets went in and destroyed the junction of the neck and spine and also clipped the main arteries coming from the heart.
The most taken shot by me has been the heart or lower lung shot. I try to avoid shooting through shoulders, but if it is a once in a lifetime buck, I will take them out and not be overly worried about the trim out. My best buck to date is a 21'wide 8 point taken from a friends place at 283yds using a 7 mag and the shot mentioned at the top. He simply face planted and my season was over in 15 miuntes.
If at all possible I try to get something either through the heart and lungs or behind one shoulder and out in front of the other. The ony other shot I will take and it is generally when nothing else is possible is through the neck in the white ring, in the front and out the back. I will take this shot over chest shooting one every time, as I have trailed to many others deer who chose to go for the straight on heart shot. It generally leaves little blood if the deer runs, and to often this has happened. The only deer I have shot in the chest was a large doe and at the shot instead of falling or even stumbling she broke and ran stright towards me then stopped turned and looked back towads where she had come, at this point I shot her through both shoulders. When we picked her up we found that the first bullet had entered the chest a little high, traveled the length of her no hitting anything and come out her left ham leaving a funnel shaped hole. The shoulder shot broke both shoulders, and took out her heart completely. This stays in my mind when a frontal shot is presented as well.
