Default Question about ground hunting deer

When you aim at the deers vitals from the ground do you shoot about the middle or the lower third of the vitals in case the deer "ducks", or do deer not duck very often, that you don't worry about it?

I shoot somewhat the same on the ground as in a tree---
I draw a horzmental line across the deers body,Then pick my spot halfway from that line to the bottom of the deer.Which is kinda what you said..If the deer is really wired I would probaly aim a little lower.

aim right for the heart, if he ducks youll still get a double lung, he he does't double lung and heart shot.
