Default RE: where do u shoot

I agree Swampdog, that's why I stated something about depending on how high etc. The higher the angle the higher the aim point. This was one of my yard deer. I was so excited to see him at midday in the lawn I didn't hold the camera still. I have on a couple occasions with really nervous or alert deer aimed right at the belly line behind the shoulder. If the deer didn't drop I miss or get a graze across the bottom. Every time I thought the unorthodox shot was called for I got center plum hits. Just like a Hollywood script. I said they'd drop and they did. The spot I marked is WHAT I want to hit, not always where I aim. And again, the higher up you go the spot should move, unless the deer is out there at 30-40 yards and then it becomes more like shooting from ground level. When the deer gets to 30 plus I tend to aim more center of mass to give me more margin for range estimation errors.

I have some of those too Dan B.
