I would have to wait for a better shot on#5 looks like he was feeding.

My 2006 buck was almost exactly the scenario as #5. I was 16ft up and he was about 8yds out. I put the arrow where GMMAT put the red dot and it poked through between the brisket and offside shoulder. He was down in 100yds.

without reading all the posts, #5 seems high to me as well
Did you read the caveat for No. 5, PT? Premise is you're 20' up, looking down. I will agree that the angle shown makes you look about 12' up.
#5 was taken at about 16' upbut the deer was almost 25yds, I was using my camcorder that also took still pics and I was zoomed way in on him!

No problem, PT.....I just felt like the angle shown was from lower than I called out (20'). From the angle shown.....I like you height.....but I'd aim right of where your blue dot is.

Dead deer.;)

Look at that headgear! I hope I get that shot, this year!:D
That is a dead deer....:D Sorry for being off topic...I found humor in it...

Jeff, I got that deer on video three different times that year and wasn't going to shoot him but as the last weekend of season came he got an arrow. He was a decent deer but was only 2 1/2 andonly went in the 90's

I always shoot for the front of theopposite shoulder on a quartering away shot.
If I can see that my arrow will enter too far back on the loins on that
line to the opposite front shoulder,the deer is quartering to hard. I won't take that shot.

Great thread Jeff.
I always have trouble convincing myself to take the "quartering to" shot.

Cool exercise..looks like to much work to play along though.

Besides there are way to many tree limbs in many of them shots..yeah I know it's hypothetical ;)

Yeah but they will lose 10 pounds in the heat! In a way, I'm glad VA's season doesn't start until October 4th. It is still warm but it is a tad cooler.:)
Yeah....it'll really suck to be hunting next Saturday. I'm bettin you're glad you don't get to!

:eek::D;)

I would take any of those shots inside 30 yds. Oct 4th is a long ways from now it seems!
