Bowhunter's Pick a spot 4 with scenarios

Middle of the rut and this decent buck comes by at 23 yards calling to your grunt tube. Very little if any wind but you don't have long to decide................Do you take the walking shot or pray that you can call him back in.

Would be pretty tempted to take that shot just behind the shoulder in the next to the bottom blue dot. Would all depend on how I felt when I had my sights on him.

Second green from the bottom.

Wait till he steps from behind that tree, depending on how fast a walk he is at and leg position if I take the shot

Marginal on size, but if I was shooting he needs one more step to clear the little tree and get that shoulder out of the way.

I'd pass right there. Probably going to try to stop him when he clears that small tree and his front leg goes forward.

Says you! He is a shooter here. The shoulder plate goes back over his vitals in that position. Tree is a hindrance. Might catch liver shooting back, but why chance it. There should be another group of dots next to the yellow. Lets make them black for death! Second from the bottom.

Same here

I'd pass him up. The deer clearly has bad manners and is belching in the photo....na in all seriousness I would pass this shot completely. Too much lil stuff hanging down, and chances are if he is moving your not going to focus in on it well enough to avoid it.

Me too.

If he is walking I would hold where the neck meets the shoulder, to the right of the next to the bottom yellow. Too much stuff to swing with the deer so picking a spot and letting him walk into the arrow is the way to go. At that distance if you can not hit a walking deer you may well eat a lot of tag soup. The other option is to grunt just as he starts moving the near leg forward and he might stop as he completes that step, but it looks like he is too busy grunting on his own to hear you. It was more open several steps back and I would have like to have stopped him then. Being an "arm chair" hunter is pretty easy. Actually being there would surely change things.

Looks like there's a little bit of stuff in the way. Once he clears that tree and plant life, if I could get him to stop before he's behind the big tree on the right then maybe.
