I'm with Rob and Greg on this one, I don't know why it was ever called jumping the string, Because it should have been called, droping on the shot. Deer must drop befor lungeing forward, I aim at top of the heart for this reason, If the deer Jumps the string (drops) you still get Lungs. Either way Dead deer! I don't think one is more ethical than the other, only more Practical!! Buckhunter Fess up Man, Bad shot, if the deer takes a step forward, you hit behind the heart, no metter which way he's going.
