Gorgeous deer and a good shot, too.

I'm curious - the shot seemed a hair far back. Obviously close enough, but do you think you mis-estimated the wind or was that more likely just part of the typical dispersion you'd expect?


What was the wind doing for that shot?

So I normally shoot behind the shoulder.

My initial impression was “more wind than I thought I guess”. But there really wasn’t much wind to begin with.

Then when I watched the video closer and saw that he was quartering to a little bit, but his onside leg was way back in his stride when he stopped, and I STILL shot behind the crease.

Just shit happening fast that I didn’t notice in the moment behind the scope.

If I did it again, I’d absolutely shoot him 6” further forward and punch his shoulder. I just hate doing it because it makes a freaking mess of the meat lol.

Yeah that's way further back than I'd be intentionally placing, but hey it worked

Agreed for sure

That makes perfect sense. I've had a few 'wow that happened fast' moments.
