mathewsboy and washington hunter thanks for posting the two diagrams. i know where to aim at an animal, but it is always nice to have a friendly reminder. im sure there are many new and young hunters on this site and this makes them realize where things are in the animals body. i dont care what any says, i think it was nice to see them diagrams on the site!!

THANKS GUYS!

Nice Pic. Thanks for posting!

Kinda like not knowing if you shot doe or a buck[&:] I know in my hunter ed course I was taught to know what you're shooting.

Point is I have a youth hunter who has never hunted deer before, he took Hunters Ed three years ago. These post have been very helpful. I have him print them out and look at them. Today we shot 3-d and we had the picture and studied where to shoot. What angles to shoot and where to aim. All very helpful, I have tracked over hundred deer in my life time. I still read the tracking post, I just like to keep refreshed. Kinda like Jack Nicklaus, greatest golfer in the world. What did he go back and work on every year? The basics, because he knew to be great it is the little things. These are our basics, and we all can better ourselves.

So you think most hunters don't know a deer's anatomy?? Man I hope that's not true.

You really think you have to be an accomplished bow hunter to know a deer's anatomy?? I would hope even the most inexperienced hunters would at least know that much before entering the woods. After all they are shooting at these things and trying to kill them. Don't you think it is important that they know where to aim??

Maybe it's time we stop sending kids out into the woods with nothing more then "aim behind the shoulder" in their toolbox.

What the heck are they teaching in bowhunter ed classes if people don't know anatomy??

That's a shame.


That's embarrassing.


Sounds cool...........glad you got a young guy started the right way.

Why is thinking that someone should have basic anatomical knowledge of the animal he is licensed to shoot and kill "stirring the pot"??

Sadly, we shouldn't have to post pictures of deer anatomy to help our fellow hunters know the anatomy of a deer, the truth of the matter is that we all start somewhere. If we are not here to help one another expand our knowledge, why be here. All have the ablility to teach, learn, aid, assist or be corrected by another. When I stop learning I suppose I'll be 6' under. I don't know how to rebuild my Titans engine but I sure can drive the hell out of it. A hunter might be a crack shot, never missing an animal nor ever not recovered one and still not know the anatomy of the animal he hunts.

Hell I layed in a hospital bed for 3 weeks because I lit some gasoline with a Bic lighter on a humid day, you would have thought I'd know better at the age of 23? We live, we learn, sometimes the hard way. ya'll should relax a little and help a guy out.

My thoughts EXACTLY.[&:]
