hutchies Posted June 26, 2009 Report Share Posted June 26, 2009 Middle of the rut and this decent buck comes by at 23 yards calling to your grunt tube. Very little if any wind but you don't have long to decide................Do you take the walking shot or pray that you can call him back in.

wtnhunt Posted June 26, 2009 Report Share Posted June 26, 2009 Would be pretty tempted to take that shot just behind the shoulder in the next to the bottom blue dot. Would all depend on how I felt when I had my sights on him. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Dawg Posted June 26, 2009 Report Share Posted June 26, 2009 Second green from the bottom. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Gator Posted June 26, 2009 Report Share Posted June 26, 2009 Wait till he steps from behind that tree, depending on how fast a walk he is at and leg position if I take the shot Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
fly Posted June 26, 2009 Report Share Posted June 26, 2009 Marginal on size, but if I was shooting he needs one more step to clear the little tree and get that shoulder out of the way. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
rhine16 Posted June 26, 2009 Report Share Posted June 26, 2009 I'd pass right there. Probably going to try to stop him when he clears that small tree and his front leg goes forward. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ruttinbuc Posted June 26, 2009 Report Share Posted June 26, 2009 Marginal on size Says you! He is a shooter here. The shoulder plate goes back over his vitals in that position. Tree is a hindrance. Might catch liver shooting back, but why chance it. There should be another group of dots next to the yellow. Lets make them black for death! Second from the bottom.:smoke: Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
jdavis Posted June 26, 2009 Report Share Posted June 26, 2009 I'd pass right there. Probably going to try to stop him when he clears that small tree and his front leg goes forward. Same here Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
The_Kat Posted June 26, 2009 Report Share Posted June 26, 2009 I'd pass him up. The deer clearly has bad manners and is belching in the photo....na in all seriousness I would pass this shot completely. Too much lil stuff hanging down, and chances are if he is moving your not going to focus in on it well enough to avoid it. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
PotashRLS Posted June 26, 2009 Report Share Posted June 26, 2009 I'd pass right there. Probably going to try to stop him when he clears that small tree and his front leg goes forward. Me too. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
elkoholic Posted June 26, 2009 Report Share Posted June 26, 2009 If he is walking I would hold where the neck meets the shoulder, to the right of the next to the bottom yellow. Too much stuff to swing with the deer so picking a spot and letting him walk into the arrow is the way to go. At that distance if you can not hit a walking deer you may well eat a lot of tag soup. The other option is to grunt just as he starts moving the near leg forward and he might stop as he completes that step, but it looks like he is too busy grunting on his own to hear you. It was more open several steps back and I would have like to have stopped him then. Being an "arm chair" hunter is pretty easy. Actually being there would surely change things.

dbHunterNY Posted June 26, 2009 Report Share Posted June 26, 2009 Looks like there's a little bit of stuff in the way. Once he clears that tree and plant life, if I could get him to stop before he's behind the big tree on the right then maybe. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
backwoods07 Posted June 26, 2009 Report Share Posted June 26, 2009 I'd pass right there. Probably going to try to stop him when he clears that small tree and his front leg goes forward. Yup. You'd be surprised what that leg back can do to an arrow, or maybe some of you wouldn't.... Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
NS whitetail Posted June 26, 2009 Report Share Posted June 26, 2009 no shot yet............. to many little limbs in the way. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Tominator Posted June 26, 2009 Report Share Posted June 26, 2009 No shot. Too much in the way. Borderline skipper for me. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
tedicast Posted June 26, 2009 Report Share Posted June 26, 2009 Walking equals no shot for me with the bow. I'm at full draw, waiting for him to stop. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
buckee Posted June 26, 2009 Report Share Posted June 26, 2009 Second green from the bottom. He's mine In reality though, I'd probably wait for a more broadside or quartering away shot, and not get him at all ..LOL Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
sskybnd Posted June 27, 2009 Report Share Posted June 27, 2009 as soon as his head got behind that tree i quickley hit my lil can hoping to stop him, than go for the 2nd green Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
camoman1 Posted June 27, 2009 Report Share Posted June 27, 2009 I would have to wait and see if a better shot presented itself...maybe he would stop on the back side of that tree to a grunt or two. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
snapper Posted June 27, 2009 Report Share Posted June 27, 2009 I'd pass him up. The deer clearly has bad manners and is belching in the photo....na in all seriousness I would pass this shot completely. Too much lil stuff hanging down, and chances are if he is moving your not going to focus in on it well enough to avoid it. ditto...no shot there! I'd have to let him walk and see if I could stop him once he's passed and in a shooting lane quartering away! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ILAntlrAddct Posted June 27, 2009 Report Share Posted June 27, 2009 Id be drawing back at this point but would have to hold the shot until he clears the limb. When he steps in the clearing Id let out a short maaaahhhhttt and hope he stops to the sound. Then if he does, green #3 is where it goes.

redkneck Posted June 27, 2009 Report Share Posted June 27, 2009 I like the shot made up in the center of the bottom 2 blue and green dots. I see some stuff in the way, but appears to be under the target zone. Hutch, would you please post a 200 inch buck so Chris can have a shot?

Straight Shooter Posted June 27, 2009 Report Share Posted June 27, 2009 Shoot him walking in the 3rd green dot. I did this last year in Ohio on my 10 point, he was just walking the other direction. lol Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Ravin R10 man Posted June 27, 2009 Report Share Posted June 27, 2009 No shot there either..I'll let him walk by that tree then whack emno 2 green Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Tom2008 Posted June 28, 2009 Report Share Posted June 28, 2009 No shot at all. That leg is in the way. Wait for it to go forward and take it. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
