Yep ducked the string! If you ever have the chance, video tape a shot at a deer, especially if they know something is up. Then go back and look at the tape and it is amazing how far that back drops as they get ready to leap. They arent ducking but they are dropping downpreparing for their legs tospring away. Anytime you get out 30 yards and more its definite possibility especially if they are on alert the slightest. Another reason these smart, quick creatures are so fun to hunt.
