Im headed to the Diamond C next weekend in hopes of a fat axis doe, or a texas dall, but Im leaning towards the axis for meat and a nice tanned hide for the wall. Is shot location on these critters the same as whitetail?

I learned this the hardway on a rifle shot. I shot one with a 270 at about 90 yards and the darn thing ran off. We actually found her about 60 yards away. Scary feeling at the time because i was invited on a hunt. Later on a couple of the pros there told me where I should of aimed. BTW- that was the last time I fired a gun at an animal. Been bow only ever since.
Good luck and take lots of pictures.

This causes their vitals to be farther forward. IMO I'd say put it right through the shoulder blade if broadside, instead of behind it like normal
