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

Wouldn't shoot regardless of circumstances.

Yeah that is a big bodied deer and he is out past his ears. Nice legal buck.

What counties in IN you hunt? That's a serious question as I'm entertaining a hunt in southern IN this season. PM if you prefer...

Well there appears to be another deer behind that one, so I certainly wouldn't shoot it.

ETA: perhaps not, but I'd at least wait for it to turn broadside.

I think people are aiming a bit too far forward. I would have my vertical cross hair lined up with the far left leg Horizontal cross hair dead center. Bullet would drop into the lower third. 30-06 150 Speer Hot Cor. Sighted 2" high at 100.

The opposite shoulder. Shooting the near shoulder is not the shot.

200? Pass with my 30-30 and 5.56. Then again, I've never in my life had a deer present itself much further than 50 yards...that's what hunting in post oaks gets you

I'm not seeing any other deer in the photo. There are a couple weird artifacts but not another deer.

Could be wrong though as it is a low resolution pic.

Forget the antlers. Assuming near peak rut and looking at his muzzle, his neck and the way it molds into his brisket, and how leggy he is, I see 2-1/2 years. Let him walk until next year.

.30-06 shooting 165 gr Fed Fusions. I'm going for the lungs and that far shoulder.

View Quote

This is the shot I would take using my .243 with 100gr core lot at an inch high.

I had a friend take this kind of shot with a.308 at a hundred yards. It mangled the hell out of the far shoulder. The leg was just hanging.That deer went down hard. For the record it wasn't a deer this size.

It would be easier to see in real life as they would be moving relative to each other. Looks like a doe that is closer to you is quartering away with ger head down and left behind her body, superimposed on a broadside buck.

Anyway, since the topic seems to be where to aim on a quartering away shot, what someone above already mentioned is correct in my opinion...aim for the far shoulder, and low for the heart.

"That dark spot behind the shoulder" is a stick

No shoot for lack of clean shot

I agree on people aiming to far forward. This deer is quartering away at a pretty serious angle. Any more and you'd have to hit guts to get both lungs.

With a bow I'd aim 1/3 of the way up. So if he ducks the string, I still get lungs. I'm not sure I'd take this shot at 32 yards. 17 for sure. 32 maybe not.

237 yards with my 6.5 Creedmoor or .270 win is still point blank range.

Deer be in the freezer like several dozen before him......

A lot of you better hope that deer on the other side is legal OR you don't get total pass-through.

.280 Ackley Improved, 300 yard zero

I don't want to track him down and looks to be too much shit in the way for a heart/lung shot.

Shooting full in the face would ruin the mount.

Posted: 7/24/2017 10:25:57 PM EDT

2 deer, no shoot.. One is hidden and could be a second buck with its head down.. Any shot to the vital area of the visible deer would likely kill/wound the hidden deer..

Is that a squirrel stuck on its ass?

There is only one deer in the photo, out of focus brush in the foreground is confusing people.

Blow the photo up.

The dark spot everyone seems to want to aim at is a stick though, a clear shot with good placement is a few inches further back.

I've killed deer with sharper angles than that.

Most memorable was a buck that fed in from behind me in a Cypress swamp in the water, fed almost directly under me, got a taste, and trotted off behind me to my right.

By the time I stood up, turned around and leaned around the tree to see him, he was 75 yards out, going away, stopped and craned his neck around to look back at me and I slipped a .50 cal TC Shockwave in right behind the last rib.

Ran about 150 yards through the swamp and fell in front of my hunting partner in his stand.

No deer between the buck and camera. You can easily outline the whole buck even on a phone.

It is a good management buck to shoot. It is an older buck from what I can tell, forget age this is a 3 year old. Died as a 3 year old of lead poisoning.
