    Default Bowhunter's Pick a spot 5 with scenarios


    Your in your groundblind, lights fading fast, and it's cold.........chance of snow on the way. He comes across the field chasing a doe and catches wind of your Tinks scentbomb locking up in his tracks at 33 yards. Does he get a pass or a ticket to the dirtnap?

    Probably passing this one, hoping he will give me a little better angle. Just don't see any dots I would shoot there with bow. If I was to take a shot it would be just off the back of the third blue dot.

    I'd pass, too! One of the first things i was taught on hunter ed a long time ago. NEVER shoot an arrow at an animal that is looking at you! I have proved that lesson right on 2 occasions. Both ended up bad.

    I'm going between the 2nd and 3rd from the bottom(figuring for a slight duck since he is on alert and at 33 yards).
    I figure God only gave me so many sunrises, I might as well not miss one.

    3 Yellow gives the best angle for a double lung, but the ball and socket is right there. Not good........especially at 33 yards. Let him make a move and reevaluate the situation then.

    Me either, Kyle! Believe it or not, I had encountered every one of those scenarios over the years. Some twice! Trust me when I say it can be humbling....

    Middle yellow dot. I have had no trouble shooting through the shoulder blades on deer. The deer is not looking directly at me and is in the curious mode. Yep, killing deer on the computer is easy.

    Yea I'd worry about hitting bone more than anything, resulting in poor penetration. I don't care how nasty your bow is you're not putting an arrow through it's leg bone. At least I haven't seen it done yet.
