SHOOT?
PASS?
or WAIT?
-
Do you Shoot the doe on the
Right? This doe is giving you the perfect broadside shooting opportunity.
But this is not as easy a situation as it first appears. There is a 3rd
deer ! A yearling is right behind this doe.
-
Pass? You have to pass.
Don't take the chance of wounding the yearling behind this doe.
-
Wait? Yes, wait. If you
want this doe you may have an opportunity if the yearling moves away.
-
Do you Shoot the doe on the
Left? You have an excellent quartering shot opportunity here. Your
only problem is this doe is looking in your general direction. However,
it's line of vision is at ground level and you are well above that. Draw
slowly so you don't attract the attention of the doe, unless you are careless
it won't notice you draw. (In the unlikely event that it looks at you,
don't shoot.) Aiming: look at the left front leg (the white
leg). Use the left edge as your point of reference and move straight up
until you are half way up the body. Double lunger. You'll be eating venison
tonight.
-
Pass? Only if you prefer
to take the doe on the right.
-
Wait? If you are not
confident you can draw your bow without attracting the does attention,
wait until it looks some where else.
