Ah. My apologies. I agree.

That's a good site you gave and has some good info. Here's a bit of advice from that site.

Where to Aim - Broadside


Bow: Broadside game represents the best bow shot because it requires the least amount of penetration to reach the vital organs, which is especially important in large big game animals. The broadside shot is also the best single angle for accomplishing a double-lung hit, resulting in the collapse of both lungs. Find the best aiming point on a deer or other hooved big game by picking a spot halfway up the side of the animal and about a hand's width behind the hollow of the shoulder. Or, in your mind's eye, eliminate the head, neck and tail. Then, divide the animal equally both vertically and horizontally. Hold on the spot where these imaginary lines cross, then aim about six inches forward. This is called the "cross hairs" method of picking a spot. Both methods will help you put an arrow in the center of the vital area by enabling you to pick a spot rather than shooting at the whole animal. Remember, an arrow will penetrate the ribs, but be careful to avoid the shoulder bone. Wait until the near leg is forward and concentrate on a spot behind the shoulder. Avoid head and neck shots when bowhunting. The brain and spine are small targets protected by heavy bone. The only artery of any size in the neck is the carotid artery (which in a deer is only the size of your bowstring). Wait for the chest shot behind the shoulder!

No its not, but whats the question?

Refer to the original Post and topic Heading.

After re-reading it, I should have made it more clear who I was addressing. Sorry. I think we are on the same opinion of poor shot selection whether the picture is real or not.

And just how is a dog, or any animal for that fact,to know that's an arrow coming at his head? Whether the pic is real or not, this is one of dumbest things I've read on this board along with some of the othergarbage talk written on here in this post by a select few. How many humans do you know than can duck an arrow at, say, 20 yards?

Look alot of times things are jokes, and shoud be taken that way. A fake picture like these sholdn't be a reason for hunters to be mad at eachother... And i'm not sayin all of too many hunters could dodge an arrow at 20 yards but i sure as heck would stick arround as soon as i saw soomeone drawing back.... There enlies the diffrence.

It's organizations like PETA that "may" cruise this site and have another reason to
ban hunting period. Even if it is a doctered photo. IMO if anyone who thinks that
they can kill a deer with a headshot then so be it. Good for them. Me....not gonna do it.

One question for the people who would shoot a deer in the head with a bow. Does anyone here seriously need the meat so bad that they would risk a shot like that? I honestly don't think too many people here do. I know I don't and would much rather enjoy the day and let it walk then shoot a deer in the head with a bow. It just doesn't make sense to me.

Ya know guys sometimes I look at how many posts a person makes and I think when some one posts over 100 times in a week, well they must be lonely or just really need some attention. they seem to be begging for some one to notice them. There are a couple of names I'm going to block. I'm done with this thread.

Right you are Charlie.We wached a doe fawn for two weeks of gun season. She had an arrow stuck in her forehead.My Brother in law shot her on the last day of the season.I shot a nice 9pt a few years ago that had been shot in the lower jaw.Head shots are not always fatal,at least not right away.The 9pt was a dead deer walking.
