Default RE: Shooting from a tree

you don't have to compensate that much for that distance. the only thing to be aware of is the animal's alert status. I had a doe that I had been watching for about an hour and she just would NOT come in. I had passed a decent six early in the am, and he was fooling with her. she finally settled down after a few bleats, and came in behind two yearlings. I knew she was on edge from watching her even though she did not exhibit it. the range was right about 18 yds. I put my pin on her belly and released. she was soo uptight, that I hit her dead center. she went about 70 yds. compensation is very important. missed a doe slightly downwind of me about two weeks later because I didn't compensate for her knowing something wasn't quite right.
