A fun game for you.

Download this image, and edit /draw a dot painted where youd aim for your weapon.

Note your weapon/projectile/zero.

Assume the deer is 237 yards. (Rifle)

And 32 yards bow

Not enough smash in a 5.56 at that range, I hunt with one also but 100 yards or less.

I want to aim to take out the far shoulder, based on the way the deer is standing it would be 1 inch behind the dark spot. 270WSM sighted dead on at 100 yards using a EXT marked reticle I use the first hash under the standard cross hairs. My 308 is sighted dead on at 200, just put the crosshairs where I stated and it will still be within the killzone of the deer.

Both shots will cockroach that buck right in my belly and on my wall.

I'd go with that aim point too.
But maybe a little lower. That will do most damage to heart and lungs.
Some are too far forward for a deer standing at an angle like he is - for the quickest kill.

I'd try to shoot the buck either in his head or high in his shoulder.

Or wait for the deer in front of him to move.

I'd aim a 1/2 inch to the right with my .270 zeroed at 100

1/2 lower with my 300 win mag zeroed at 200.

With my shotgun I'd be somewhere about even with the back or a couple inches higher (I've got to check my dope chart)

237 with a modern rifle that is well sighted in isn't that big of a deal on whitetail.

I'd go an inch high and right of that spot, Leupold goldring on a .270 x-bolt, scope adjusted to 300, 130gr soft point. It would be pretty close to the aim point on the one I took a couple years ago at 268yds. Bow I'm low and 2 inches behind the crease with my 40yd pin

I don't rifle hunt. I only do bow for deer. If I was in a blind, this is where I'd like my arrow to land. Red spot is bullseye.

With a quartering away shot like this, you have to compensate a bit further back than with a broadside shot. I'd go with any of the center mass red dots or the white "x". Those all indicate proper knowledge of shot placement.

That deer would be illegal where our property is. He's well inside a 13" spread.

Wouldn't shoot regardless of circumstances.

Don't feel like chasing him through the brush.

My first archery deer turned and looked at me as I hit the release. Hit chest dead center and deflected off the breastbone, out thru the armpit, bled out in 100 yards.
