Buff, I agree with your thinking on aiming low, my missing experience has taught me a doe is more likely to drop than a buck, with that said I had a spike drop on a 20 yard shot this week, arrow right over his back. Buff what do you use when shooting 8 to 10" low on whitetail as far as picking a spot? Do you pick a spot on the ground below the deer? Also do you adjust how low based on the shot distance, for example a 15 yard shot maybe not quite so low? Your experience can help us all. Gary

Since you released at half draw you still shot him with a 60 lb bow.

Great story and really good buck.

A clean miss? yep we have all done it. A buck that wants to commit suicide? Not to many of them left. LOL Congrats

It depends on where I'm hunting.
We had a lease in the hill country a few years back and the deer were really spooky.
I would pick out a Catus under and past the deer and shoot at it.
Most of the time I just aim right where the white strip meets the elbow.
It has worked out pretty good on the last train car load of deer I have shot.
I have been doing it so long that when I go to Africa and shoot some of the bigger critters that don't duck, I have a hard time aiming up on their side and not under them.
The closer they are the more they react to the sound. Or so it seems to me
Good luck which ever way you go
