I have put corn/apples down at 25yrds from stand so here’s the question where would you aim on the whitetail deer. Text books say behind front leg but because of dense bush around me I really want to drop deer in its tracks, I have spent my time sighting in and I’m maintaining a 1/2inch group (freehand) 1inch high of center at 30yrds so I’m comfortable with my shooting. Thanks in advance for your replies.
Just clip the rear of the shoulder blades if you can or just behind the shoulder. The only time I seen deer just drop in there tracks is when I used to use remington copper solids. If you spine shoot your going to waste the best part of the animal Imo unless your archery hunting.
