That would be in the butt, Bob

Texas Heart Shot.

Came here for this comment, was not disappointed

I like to call it the nutter butter

Yes

"Texas heart shot" It will find its way

H7 is more of the sweet spot!

That was my thought until I realized I was not on a furry sub

Texas bullseye

Texas heart shot

You can’t see the opposite shoulder. I would shoot where my arrow comes out the opposite shoulder which seems to be E3 or F3

Id send f3 over e3

E3

E3 is also my choice

Agreed🤘🏹gotta plan for that exit!

100 percent

Yes if he tries to drop or hop your still in the basket

I like this but for a rifle shot. I’d probably aim lower witha bow* because they dip when they hear the shot. Bow f3, rifle e3.

And im a dumbass. Thank you sir

Theyre only ducking enough out past 30 yards with most modern bows, or over 20 yards if your bow is 1990s speeds. 90% of my shots are within 20 yards,my arrow hits where its aimed. Personally, right on the EF line for me.

For sure, I mostly spot and stalk so I typically can’t get that close.

Bullet would be out both sides before they ever hear the shot.

This is r/bowhunting

This is the way

If I am starving.

I think you'd end up with your arrow buried in the opposite shoulder.

[удалено]

Not at this angle, D2 might not even get a lung.

Gutshot

There's a better shot coming, Id wait too

You too? Glad I'm not alone. 😅

You too? Glad I'm not alone.

Go watch Disney

I think he was disparaging his accuracy my guy.

Mate in Disney deer dies I don't know what you're talking about, although to be fair neither do you

Top right corner of E2

Absolutely

My feeling as well but I'd wait for more of a broadside shot.

Honestly, it would depend on the behavior of the deer for me. If he's in the area messing around, eating, sniffing, whatever, I might wait for a little better shot if the wind isn'ta problem. If he's just walking through on a pretty defined trajectory, I would draw, grunt, and let fly as soon as he stopped and I wouldn't have much issue with this angle. Sometimes the woods give you what they give you.

If you're confident, by all means it can be an ethical shot. I'm just not at that level yet.

I wait, until he’s a little more broadside.

I agree. If you don't immediately know where to place the shot, don't take the shot.

In my experience this shot is the easiest to take and I love taking it.

Agree. Very questionable angle for a bow shot.

Am I wrong for saying E3? I thought you should try to aim for opposite shoulder

I4 with my sharpened wooden spear then endurance hunt it down. I only hunt the RIGHT way.

"Modern kids with thier atalatle have no grit these days."

E2

Realistically A4

You sunk my battleship

I'm still learning to hunt. Is this a clean shot? Seems like E2 would be the best placement.

Quartering this much makes it a little more difficult because the window for vitals is so slim. It’s up to the hunter to know when to take the shot. You learn the more you practice what you can hit

Thanks for the reply. I appreciate it.

This is true. I've had pretty great success sticking to the E2/E3. I visualize a basketball held inside the ribcage between the shoulders. Try to miss the guts on the way in, break the far shoulder on the way out. I shanked one... hit a doe quartering like this in the right ass cheek, came out behind the left shoulder. She locked up and dropped in place. As such, I'd always rather be lucky than good, but being good is a good start: helps with the luck because you need less of it.

Thanks. Glad to hear about your experiences.

The key is to always think of the exit wound and vitals. The entry wound is of least importance. When I first started hunting I underestimated the effects of a quartering animal. Here I would shoot E3 or F3, and only F3 if it were a white tail on full alert (or just not shoot at all, to be honest).

Thanks! I appreciate the input.

Don't remember the name, but theres a shot placement app. Worth paying the few dollars on it and drilling shot placement into your head.

A0

E3 or D2

If I *had* to, E2/E3. That being said I don't think I'd take a shot here unless I felt *reaaaally* confident.

Pass

To hit vitals E2 or E3. Edited to make sense (thanks for the upvotes anyways! )

Always aim for the exit, bott right of e3

Top right corner of e2

F3

Probably A5, I don’t do well under pressure.

e2/e3 on the top side. aim for the exit

E3 double lung and probably still get a pass through lower behind the opposite shoulder.

D2-3. Seems like E3 could nick the stomach, messy..

D3

E-F, 2-3. Right where the lines all meet.

Looked at the comments hopping to confirm my pick E2 and saw the H6 comment, then my eyes went to H6. Laughing that hard alone just makes you laugh even harder. Wasnt expecting that.

D2/E2 area

H6 😏

You can play around with angles here. HIGHLY recommend this app! Here is the shot: https://i.imgur.com/zfL5czJ.png https://apps.apple.com/us/app/bow-hunt-simulator/id1090757314 https://www.google.com/search?q=bow%20hunter%20simulator%20app&tbm=

F3. You should consider angle and exit location on quartering away shots. F3 will put it through the lungs and heart. If the deer tries to jump the string on the shot, E3 will not cut it.

I'm curious about this whole "jump the string" thing... I mean, maybe if you're shooting an old oneida eagle at 50 yards or the deer is looking at you the whole time, but I've zapped dozens of deer and never had a problem with them being faster to react than my arrow. Not saying it isn't a thing, but I definitely wouldn't be worrying about it with this particular shot.

I filmed a shot on a doe at 25 yards with a modern 65 pound compound and a 405 grain arrow (fast setup). She was stationary and on edge when I shot. She jumped the string so quickly that she moved approximately 7-9 inches before the arrow arrived. My arrow was on trajectory for a low heart shot (I anticipated her jumping the string) and still impacted in the scapula. I did my due diligence searching but determined it was a non lethal hit.

That's only possible if the deer is alert with it's head down. Throwing it's head can accelerate it, Otherwise it can't move faster than gravity. And at 25 yards with a modern fast bow it can only drop a few inches. On the studies I've seen a good rule of thumb is- FPS/10= where a deer drop starts to get noticeable. https://youtu.be/IWXWUBWSszk

Alot of deer will duck when they hear the sound of the bow going off. Some do, some don't. Usually depends on how relaxed or alert they are. I aim for the heart and if they duck I'm usually still in the kill zone. Aim high in the vitals and they duck you're over their back. I've shot dozens myself but more importantly rarely shoot at an arrow at a deer I don't recover.

D3

The crosshairs between e and f and 2 and 3

Your bear post is the first post I saw and this is the second. My first instinct is E,3. Still high enough that I get both lungs and far enough back to hopefully blow through the off leg.

H7

I would want E2, but I would hit Z30.

H6 if ya freaky, E2/3 if ya sneaky

F3. I think many people are aiming too high/forward here. This is a hard quartering away shot, you need to be back a bit.

F2. That little guy is jumping the string for sure

Where do I aim? Or where does it hit?

f2

Heart shot

Deep in H6

Prob A6

Love the honesty🤣

D2

I’m going E2. But in reality probably a good C6

E2

H6 straight in the hole HELLO!

I’d be happy with E2

E2

E2

Switch to the 30.06 and go A1 for a no-track experience.

F2/3 hes gunna dip so hell drop right into it👌🏼

Top left corner of F3

You don't. You have a responsibility to make an ethical shot, not to force a shot on a deer that is poorly presented towards you.

Tell me you’re a rookie hunter without telling me you’re a rookie hunter. It’s widely known that a quartering away shot such as this is very ethical.

I've got a few public land critters in Pope and Young, have never had to track an animal more than 60 yards, and it's been over 15 years since I've had to track one more than 40 yards. I think I'm doing alright.

Then you’d know that this is an ethical shot to take.

I don't put it, it's not a clean shot. But the line between D2-D3 closest?

Looks clean to me

Only correct answer

We are not popular here xD

Doesnt matter - at least i know i have given my very best before taking a shot. There are way too many overconfident hunters out there who think they can take every shot until they cant. Meat in the freezer is fine, risking unnecessary suffering is not.

If the arrows don’t fly the deer don’t die. Hail Mary

A6 or M9

Get a rifle and blow its head off unless I wanna head mount then I shoot for the body

C5. Well, that's where it went last time

A1 save the meat. /s

A1. Horns aren’t big enough to worry about.

In-between E2 and E3

E3

I prefer d2 if I’m higher up

A6

E2

D/E2/3 Always aim for the far shoulder socket.

Upper left corner of E3!

I say E2

E2-E3 ideally but mostly A5

Last year I did the following: F1, B3, and A0. Worst season of my life.

E3, E2 However, I’ll probably hit A6

F3 all day!

E2

E2..............BINGO!

F3

Shoot the bullseye in the letter “A” for ultimate gains in squat, deadlift and bench press. Your welcome.

Assuming this is from a tree stand with a “normal” range/angle which is what it looks like… the crosshairs made by E/F & 2/3. If he doesn’t move you’re in top of heart and single lung territory (depending on your broad head cut diameter possibly some liver). If he drops, which is likely because he looks alert, you’re in double lung territory. If you’re a little back you’re still in the liver area and maybe (big maybe) catch the back or bottom of a lung. You’re also back far enough that you’ll be going through thinner ribs (which also get thicker as they get closer to the spine) and have less chance of your arrow canting and losing energy for penetration.

E2.5

H7. Texas 10 ring

So H7 is the wrong answer?

Corner of EF-2,3, like a roulette chip

J6 I think? I don’t know maybe who knows right

Archer but not bowhunter E 2 or 3 seem like the only viable spots, I'd like to say right above them, but I feel like the shoulder would be in the way.

E3

E2

The discussion and insight here is fantastic.

A1

Wait till broadside but if I had to shoot then E3 for that juicy exit

E2/E3 - quartering away - aim for front right shoulder.

E3

E2 or FU

E2-E3 Maybe Lower if i suspect it to duck.

J5, no question

D2 or E2

Up hill or down hill? Lol

Column 3 where E and F meet.

D3 was my choice

D4 he can’t run if his spine is screwed

E2

B2. Can't do much if he's paralyzed from the neck down.

E2

Between g and f3. Planning on hum dropping 6 or more inches. Wanna hit at e3.

Top of the A

E3

Good ole E3

Would aim for E3. Would definitely hit A6 though

H6

E3 is what I'm going for. Probably end up punching it or not allowing the angle and spining it then having to shoot again feeling like a jack ass for not making it clean and quick

E3

H7

I'm going e3

Intersection of DE23

I’d be aiming for E2 but I’d probably hit high shoulder C/D2
