Great topic. I would also say it depends on each situation, or watch the deers demeanor in his movement when preparing for you shot.When Isee deer creeping through the woods, taking their sweet time either feeding, or alert for some reason, I wait until they are in range and not lookingbefore I draw. When I see deer unalarmed and on a steady pace moving on a trail or even just through a field or open woods,I feel more comfortable drawing a few steps before they are in range as an immanent shot is going to happen. Example, if I see a few Does feeding through an area picking their heads up, randomly looking around, then continuing to feed and walk, Im much more careful about drawing. When I see a buck rapidly approaching nose to the ground, you just have to time it just like Payton Manning to Marvin Harrison lol. Draw a few steps before youre clear shooting area, try and stop the buck, WHAM!! Touchdown!!
