Use this practice tip to prepare for opening day! Morrell Targets - www.growingdee... Prime Archery - www.growingdee... #deerhunting #deer #hunting #bow
I've never had a deer react to my bow. I've had them see me, then react to the sound. If the deer isn't alert, you are golden. Also just shoot when the head is up. If there head is down, they are in a sprinters position.
Good advice, for guys coming to afrika, you need to practice to shoot more forward... Our plains game vitals sit more forward in the body than a deer... Shoot low and right behind the shoulder
I shot one right through the very bottom of the “belly” centered between front and back legs. It sliced its liver and left the stomachs etc intact. Blood trail like you wouldn’t believe
I assume the ranger your shooting a deer at means this won't be a factor. But that advice might also help when shooting from an elevated position. When shooting from the high ground it changes the point of impact. Meaning you should change your point of aim to correct for it.
Good advice but I think that shot is 2” low aim there you risk hitting it in the brisket which I guess isn’t worse case scenario because it would have a solid chance of living but I would like to see it just a touch higher at least with a two blade broadhead
I ALWAYS aim low especially from a tree stand. If they duck I still high lung them. If they don't move its straight through the boiler house. I've never shot under a deer by doing that. However i have shot over them by not doing it.....
With my old cheap bow they would almost always duck when i shot but with my new prime box the doe i got with it didnt react untill the arrow was already through her. Some bows are pretty noisy especially the cheaper ones.
Straight up the leg puts you a little closer to the center of the killzone. I've seen deer drop, but I've also seen them drop and turn. And that turn sucks a lot of energy out of your arrow. I go straight up the leg right on the lower 1/3 line. This is still far better advice than most. Seeing all these high lung shots makes me cringe. I like my venison too much to be shooting that high. Lol
My first deer i shot at aimed mid body and cut its back open. A week later got a second shot thought it was 20 it was 23 aimed bottom of heart it didnt duck and barely missed 😰
I aim 3 “ above where you hit. Never had a deer duck . Of course, in 30 years,90% of my shots have been under 20 yards with many coming at the 12-15 yard mark. And trust me , 30 years ago bows were not nearly as quiet. This has been my experience. I guess it depends on how you set up
I’ve found 30-50 yards is like the Goldilocks zone for a string ducking the string, but I agree at twenty put that pin right on the pump house and give ‘em some carbon. I’ve got a lot of respect for guys like you and my old man who taught me how to hunt (he’s been in the game for about 40 years) you guys bow hunted before it was the cool thing to do, there’s alot my generation of hunters can learn now from TH-cam and forums but you old timers taught yourselves through trial and error.
Not sure about the whole spine is 6 inches down thing, I've taken wildlife biology for a few years and the spine is usually no more than an inch below the horizon of the back
Aim straight up the leg, in the vital V. Thats where all thenmain arteries and veins co kng off the.lungs are , and the top of the heart. I never aim behind the sboulder, if they leg is forward, you will hit way back.
Take your shot with it's head up. Deer use their necks to jump a shot, if the head is down they get a better jump. Head up they don't move as much
Wish I knew someone as wise in hunting as you . Great advise
Every time I’ve done this 1: they don’t go far. 2: the blood trail is huge.
Good advice my friend
Best explanation I’ve seen.

Their body ducks harder when they lift their head to run
You haven’t shot enough deer with a bow then.
@dddddddddd924 It's a simple chess game. I can't help you get busted.
no doubt lol your 100 percent right there
Thank you for the wisdom 💪
Agree 100%
That’s how I been doing it for decades
Great advice
Great tip!
Awesome advice, plus there's never a bad time to get out and shoot your bow.
Agreed
Well said.

sound advice 👍😎

Bingo. You are exactly right. Very well said.
Aim for your exit 👍🏻
Love this guy. More tops please
More bottoms too, please.
Spot on!
Yup that one was a bit low though

Great content!
Aint that the truth bro preach it
nice brother 💯🎯
Well, put, sir
Always shoot for heart!
I agree with everything you said, however you sound just like me when i make a bad shot 😂 much love brother
As a kid I learned that lesson the hard way. I've had many deer jump the string on me.
Finally someone that knows where to shoot a deer
Yes
Nice brother definitely
Killer shot
That is experience 😮
Very smart
Thats a good looking release your using sir. Would you mind telling us what release is that?.
It's a Cobra brand release. I've had it for years and really like it! Cobra releases are great and much less expensive that many brands.
Head up body up head down body down
I ALWAYS aim low especially from a tree stand. If they duck I still high lung them. If they don't move its straight through the boiler house. I've never shot under a deer by doing that. However i have shot over them by not doing it.....
I agree!
The spine is 6" down? Swayback deer? Scoliosis?
Spine is that low on deer - got have room for the loins and hide!
@@GrowingDeerTVI would think being a channel all about deer you would know the spine is nowhere near 6 inches down. Do your research my guy 😂
He using man inches cut him one slack lol
I’ve never had a deer duck, and I aim directly for the vitals. Im just lucky I guess.
With my old cheap bow they would almost always duck when i shot but with my new prime box the doe i got with it didnt react untill the arrow was already through her. Some bows are pretty noisy especially the cheaper ones.
Heart shot

Truth
Excuse me, where did you buy that target, and is it available online? Thanks!
Morrell Targets!

That's bow hunting, better to miss than maim tho

Maybe for you but my buck ducked hard last year
it's hard for them to duck that piece of lead coming out of them
They can duck a muzzle loader for sure. This video is explaining archery.
@@ML-ks2ljYou need a new muzzleloader
@@ML-ks2lj😂😂😂no way anything is ducking any firearm
Not sure about the whole spine is 6 inches down thing, I've taken wildlife biology for a few years and the spine is usually no more than an inch below the horizon of the back
Whew - not in a deer. Hide, deer loins, etc., all set on top of a deer's spine.
The deer doesn't react to the sound of the bow when you aim lower 3rd? How does that make any sense ?
Deer do likely react, but by aiming at the bottom third of the vitals, if the deer drop the shot is still likely hitting the vitals.
@GrowingDeerTV That is correct. The way it was spoken was misleading.
Unless that target deer ducked at the sound of the shot, that dude hit him low.
the heart on a deer is very low
i have learned over the past 40 years of bowhunting that deer always die faster with a double lung hit than a heart shot.
Not sure about that.
How are you liking the inline?
I liked it! I shooting the Revex now and really like it!
@@GrowingDeerTV right on. I have one of the Nexus 34s. Such a great bow to shoot
Aim straight up the leg, in the vital V. Thats where all thenmain arteries and veins co kng off the.lungs are , and the top of the heart. I never aim behind the sboulder, if they leg is forward, you will hit way back.
the deer only duck if their head is down
Can’t duck my slug
Im calling BS on that shot buddy
Why?
Looks like you hit a little far back
100
Cause we can afford to destroy a 300 dollar target
Great video
Why do people always practice without their quiver ? Doent make sense
I take my quiver off when in a blind or stand.
That sloppy draw would spook any self respecting public land whitetail...
Hmmm
Get a bow without training wheels
Goodness Luke - there's enough division among hunters. Why add to it?
@GrowingDeerTV I'm just joking you do you good luck this year
I taught myself to come up with the bow trad/compound when aiming rather than coming down!! It’s paid off over 40 yrs ,,
Good luck everyone!!
That is a quite bow
I'll stick to my 45 70.
Sad you had to explain to bow hunters
You don't think folks should learn?
