Would you take the shot?

If that was the best shot I though I was going to get I would not hesitate to take it. Shot this big boar at probably even more quartering away because he was super nervous and thought it was the best shot I was going to get as he had been there for about a hour but was constantly on the move and didn't like coming around to the front of the feeder for a shot and I had him at this feeder about a week prior for about 45 minutes and never did get a good shot at him before he left. I center punched the heart and he only went 35 yards.

His head was down and I don't take shots at a deer while their head is down.

His head was down and I don't take shots at a deer while their head is down.

Why? That's the most relaxed position

Why? That's the most relaxed position

I don't know if this is his reason or not but I know some believe that when a animal jumps the string they must put their head down first so if there head is already down they move faster at jumping the string. I personally just look at the deer's body language not the position of their head.

Yeah if I get drawn undetected and they're head down feeding the whole time I'll take a head down shot 100% means they have no clue I'm there. If you aim low right are the heart no deer should jump your string with speeds these days within 25yards. Jumping the string is two parts 1) deer ducking 2) hunter shooting high

yes I would, I'd prefer less quartering but I think I'd drill him. I would aim higher then that but deer would be equally dead.

I'd rather a quartering shot then straight broadside. I seem to chase em longer that way. I always aim at the heart, if they duck then I get lungs, if I miss then i'm under em. In the arm pit at the heart is my favorite.

1:57 this deer quartered hard away at the last second and i went behind the last rib, I ended up center punching the heart

Nope. I don't like deer poop on my tenderloins

I'd probably wait for him to turn. He seemed relaxed and feeding so no need to rush.

I am not confident enough in my self to take that shot. Great shot though

I would take that shot but aim alittle higher.
