Default RE: best shot under your stand??

Well I dont agree on the head shot but I reckon some people do. My best shot under my stand was a 8pt buck 2 yrs ago. He had came in and started feeding, I watched for along time but he was just out of range and didnt want to take a shot. All of a sudden 2 does appeared and they came down the trail right under my stand. He kinda circled and picked up there trail and started to follow these doe. The doe were about 15 yards to my right and he was to my left. He had stopped to my left for a min and was quartering to me. He put his head down and started grunting and stopped right under my stand. (I mean I could have jumped on him). well when he was on his way I drew my bow, when he stopped under my stand I found my mark and just as I released he moved and I caught him in the spine. He feel right in his tracks but was trying to get up with just his front legs. He would have died but couldnt watch him die slowly. so I nocked another arrow and finished him off. I could of chose the head but never come to my mind. and it probally never will.
