I guess when I talk " Normal" hunting distances, for me that has averaged out to be about 13 yards. I have yet to see one even come CLOSE to getting out of the way from that distance........a few have tried........all have failed.
I can relate to that!
I almost always aim for the heart, and usually hit there. There is always the exception, but most of my shots tear up the heart. A good majority of the areas I hunt are on the edges of clearcuts and it' s very thick.....the more blood on the ground the better when trying to track into clearcuts. Heart shots give the best volume of blood and very rapidly.
