Line between 2-3 and E-F

I'd go E3 myself and not worry about hitting the heart, there's plenty of goodies there.

There comes a point liberalism has gone too far, we're past that point.

That would have been my second choice and for the same reason.


More and more when I go anywhere I find myself keeping track of where the nearest rest room is.

E3 for me. I always aim based on location of offside shoulder.

Ding ding we have a winner. Regardless of angle facing looking other direction . That's a good rule

Follow line 3 down, it comes out right between the front legs. But I agree the exit should be offside shoulder

I'd rather hit 2 lungs than the heart. Not just because I think lungs shots are better, I also like to eat the heart.

I see some clearly mean the line intersect when they say 2-3 line and E intersect I wonder if others do also but not as clearly

I figured archery picking the box is about all the closer your going to get and anywhere in that box is what you get

I also wonder if everyone isn't seeing that you can see over the ridge of the spine so you are clearly above the deer

thinking about your exit given your entry square where do you place your exit ?
just satisfying my curiosity for how people see the same image different.

given the angles I expect square D3 entry which I place 2 inches left of the spine to exit just to the right of the sternum just ahead of the right front leg , should catch both lungs and leave a nice hole out the bottom of the chest cavity for a blood trail.

Just shoot the dang deer. It's already snorted and run over to the neighbors who had to put out his Marlboro so he could see from all the smoke. He knocked over his beer and spilled it. sitting on the ground beside him . He stepped in his still smoking dump to try to get a "better angle" on it so he could shoot it in the neck. You guys are still trying to draw a line on him while him and bubba load the thing on top of the hood of his truck and bring it over to show you !!!!

don't think you would get many shots like that-never seen deer standing on top of grass hay in my country. That being said I thinks its a rare chance you would get a shot like that. I have never shot a deer at that angle. Bored ?

tree stand hunters

tree stand hunters who let them get in to about 10 yards from the base of the tree

your at about a 35-45 degree angle down over them

Goes to show ya what I know about that. Out west I just shoot deer with a rifle, cut them up, put em in freezer and eat them.I still don't get the picture. Looks weird to me even if I was in a tree stand.

A friend of mine took a ground level heart/lung shot at a doe just as she turned her head back to bite a flea or something on her side. The arrow went right through her ears and didn't kill her. For the next hour he and his brother chased her around the field (she was staggering like she was drunk because she had no equilibrium now) and finally got into a position to take another heart/lung shot. Point don't shoot at the head.
