All are death shots, but I personally like my arrows to hit a few inches lower on all pics.

I wouldn't take a quatering towards shot, but they can be made if your very precise with your placement. Oh, number 1 looks real bad...dont shoot any with spots

nahhh, the spotted ones are best! a little cocktail sauce, dip em in, slllllurp! just like shrimp!

I think that you might want to avoid shots 4 and 5 until you are very confident in your shooting ability and get a few deer under your belt, chances are if you wait they will offer you a better shot anyway and if they don't you won't have to deal with a marginal hit or the agony that goes with not recovering a deer. Deer are hard to size up when your just starting out, but I think the spots in pic. 1 should help you out. Good luck and if you have a 3-d target practice at these angles.

Thanks for the link to the deer anatomy site. That is very helpful!

Being that you are a 1st time hunter i would not shoot 1,4 or 5 . 2and 3 are very good shots they will be dead in yards.

My reasion for the nuber 1 pic is that you being new may be shooting a light # bow if so and you get any boan at all [on a nice buck] would make the shot not good.Penitration would be the problem then,and allso look at your opasit side leg you will NOT get a pass though on this shoot unless you are shooting a mid # bow.2 and3rd shot will allso not get a pass though but you will be well behund your leg so you will get good penitration.


Good luck glade to see a new hunter in the game.

Lower and tree stand hunts are the best . The hole chest cavity dosnt have to fill up befor you get a good blood track
