woolybear Posted April 21, 2009 Report Share Posted April 21, 2009 Perched in your stand when you hear the unmistakeable sound of a deer approaching. You ready your bow for a shot op when this monarch emerges into your shooting lane 10 yards out. The crunching leaves of an approaching hunter has frozen him for the moment... It's now or never...

Ravin R10 man Posted April 21, 2009 Report Share Posted April 21, 2009 (edited) Blue 4 or 5, at this level, depending on height of my stand blue 1,2, or 3..Im taking out the lungs and keeping away from shoulder blade, most will shoot the shoulder Edited April 21, 2009 by Mathews XT Man Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
PotashRLS Posted April 21, 2009 Report Share Posted April 21, 2009 Go between the 4 and 5 yellow and a hair right trying to picture the offside leg. It appears the close leg is a bit forward which will allow your arrow to go just behind the boney triangle that makes up a deer's shoulder. You will most likely see that deer fall;). If the shoulder worries you, creep toward the green 4 and 5 but be aware that this deer quarters to you. Going too far back will give you nearside lung and stomach. He'll be dead but also a tad green when you find him. You may want to pass altogether, but this deer looks quite close and that should raise your confidence. Anymore of an angle and I would not shoot. Always picture your exit when trying to pick an enterance. Fun game Woolybear. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Turkeygirl Posted April 21, 2009 Report Share Posted April 21, 2009 Probably blue or green, dots 2 or 3 coming up from the belly.... Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
redkneck Posted April 21, 2009 Report Share Posted April 21, 2009 Blue 4 or 5, at this level, depending on height of my stand blue 1,2, or 3..Im taking out the lungs and keeping away from shoulder blade, most will shoot the shoulder I agree totally. Depending on the height of my stand, ten yards is really close and the higher i am the higher i'd pick the dots to get clean downward penetration just behind the shoulder blade.

wtnhunt Posted April 21, 2009 Report Share Posted April 21, 2009 That angle exactly as it is posed I am going dead center between the square made up by green and blue 4 and 5. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Mirage Posted April 21, 2009 Report Share Posted April 21, 2009 I agree totally.

layin on the smackdown Posted April 21, 2009 Report Share Posted April 21, 2009 I don't like quartering to shots, but if i had to on this guy i would let it fly on the bottom yellow dot...Should get some heart, and definitely both lungs... If you are going to take a quartering to shot, you don't want to put it too far back or you will most likely be at the beginnnig of a very long hike (catching high in one lung or maybe a liver shot)...Too far forward and the shoulder might act as a shield, break your arrow, and ricochet the broad head into the opposing shoulder ulltimately causing you to miss all the vitals...

woolybear Posted April 21, 2009 Author Report Share Posted April 21, 2009 I'm gonna let the air outta this dude between green and blue 3. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Bob LeBlanc Posted April 21, 2009 Report Share Posted April 21, 2009 At that angle, Green # 2...his ears are laid back, and he knows you're there...he's gonna jump the string. He's quartering towards you so any further back than green is probably back lungs and/or liver...any further forward, and you're real close to the shoulder.

buckee Posted April 21, 2009 Report Share Posted April 21, 2009 That angle exactly as it is posed I am going dead center between the square made up by green and blue 4 and 5. Yep...sounds like a kill shot to me too Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
hoythunter37 Posted April 21, 2009 Report Share Posted April 21, 2009 i would have to say either blue 4 or yellow 3. it looks like a quarter to shot and the angle would be downward getting at least a double lung and maybe a heart in ther as well.
