Deer Shot Placement | Where To Aim For Broadside, Quartering & Elevated Shots 

Amen!

That's why I'm here

That's why I'm here too

What about crossbow?

@@basshuntet607 This applies across the board regardless of weapon.

Glad it helped!

Imagine how people were 5,000 years ago without God’s True Book. How would they have known how they were supposed to live? How would they have known how they were supposed to be in order to please their Creator? So God gave the law of Moses back then. This law was for the people to know how to be. They saw what God expected out of them. God had high expectations from the Israelites. Why shouldn't He? Should He drop His expectations for love and grace? If He drops His expectations to accommodate what man wants, then He compromised His perfection for man’s imperfection. Does a Perfect God compromise His perfection? So God has expectations once He tells His creation how He wants things. His love and grace gives His creation time to change. He is willing to help them change if they ask Him. Then His creation, while repenting or changing to do His will, see His Beauty. This is a relationship formed now with the Creator. If He is the Most Beautiful Being, which He is, how can His creation not want to obey Him? How can His creation not want to please Him? The reason why is because of foolishness. Man loves his own foolishness rather than God’s wisdom, Jn 3:19. Man loves his sin. If anyone loves himself, he will stay in sin. So man who stays in sin rejects his perfect Creator or Father, and exchanges it for his own foolishness. So now fast forward to today where we have God’s True Book. We officially know what God wants. God gave His creation a big help, the Word, to show us how He wants us to live. If we follow His perfect teachings, we all live with perfect peace, love, joy and unity. This is His perfect design for His children's lives. When we go against His perfect design for what we want, sin, we throw away that perfect plan. We throw away that perfect peace, love, joy and unity. Giving up these things is foolish. So sinning against God proves to be the worst plan for us! God wanted to help mankind. God wanted to save man from his foolishness. He wanted to help us the best way possible because He is Good. The best and only way to do it, as God saw fit, was to give mankind His Son. Why? The Son is the Word, Jn 1:1. The Word always obeys the Father's will. The Father's will is spoken through His Word. The Word proceeds forth from the Father's will and mind. So the Word that God speaks is the pure sequel to what was inside the Father's mind and heart. Jesus is that perfection manifest. He is the physical embodiment of God's will and thought. God's will and thought is expressed through His Word. Jesus, the human part, is the perfect, physical expression of God. Jesus, the human part that walked this earth, came to teach us the perfect will of God. How? He did this by example. This is why Jesus walked this earth perfectly without sinning. So Jesus taught us perfectly. He even was willing to die not only death, but the death He did not deserve since He never sinned against God the Father. He chose to give His life. That's why Jesus says no man forces Him to lay down His life, He chose to lay it down, Jn 10:18. God wanted to save mankind. Jesus wants what the Father wants. The Word always obeys the will. He shed even His perfect, pure blood for us. His blood is the fulfillment of perfect obedience to the Father. Why? Because the Son asked 3 times in the Garden, "Take my cup not by my will but by yours." The Father said the Son still had to shed His blood on the cross. The Son obeyed the Father's will over His own. So the blood was shed for that purpose. Nobody else had that kind of blood. Nobody else pleased the Father perfectly like the Son. So now instead of the law of Moses showing us the way to live rightly in God's eyes, we have the Son. This is the New Covenant. In Jesus and His blood, we now obey Him instead of the Mosaic law as part of this new agreement between man and God. So as man wants to live rightly to please His Creator, man now must turn to the Word of the Creator. So obeying the perfect teachings of Jesus brings us to how God wants us to live. The Son conquered the grave. The grave is the end of all who sin. The grave is the payment for sin. Satan founded the grave. How? Because Satan started death by being the first to sin against Almighty God. Jesus destroyed Satan's creation and fulfills the very first prophecy spoken of the Savior in Genesis 3:15. That's why Jesus came to "...destroy the works of the devil," 1 Jn 3:8. Satan came to ruin God's Creation with sin. Jesus came to ruin Satan's creation, death, with perfect obedience, which His blood shed proves. That's why in His blood, there is life. So the Gospel is God's reconciliation with man. How? Only through the Son. If you disobey the Son, you disobey the Father. Jesus says, “He who has seen me has seen the Father,” Jn 14:9. Repent and accept Jesus as Your Lord NOW!!! Then start to read the Gospels and obey His commands. Follow Jesus only, no other man, no religion. Only Jesus.

Very cool! Congrats on your first buck!

@@Whitetail_Properties thanks sir keep doing what you do!

That’s awesome! Congrats, I got my first buck about a week ago!

Nice job and congrats

We're always trying to help all stages of hunters!

Accept Jesus Christ as your Lord and Savior and you will be saved. John 3:16 (share the good news of the gospel around the world!) Have a wonderful day/night, may the LORD bless you all, and farewell!,.,,,,,,.,,.,,.,.,.,.

How do you figure that? A deers lungs are larger than a dinner plate, as long as you puncture both lungs, that's a dead deer. Even if you miss the heart

My PH always said a third of the way up the front leg for the perfect shot, my daughter has dropped 5 African animals with 5 shots, using that advice, using either a 270 or 308 , African animals internals are different from our animals , but still good advice

Yes I am African hunter I agree, now hunting in beautiful Colordo.

@@Abiti3131 Best of luck hunting. Stay safe.

Agree with arrow placement. But alot of times because deer squat from a voluntary reflex from the sound of a bow snap your hit could be too high. I aim for the squat especially if I am in a tree.

I’m mid new mid seasoned and this is amazing I never knew that a deers front leg was like that

We love to hear that, thank you! Glad it continues to help! Good luck this season!

We appreciate it! Thank you for watching!

Agreed. I normally aim for head or neck as a bad shot is a clean miss that doesent injure without killing as a general rule. I do this as I have a horrid track record of gut shooting even what I thought were correct placements and never knew why. This year I may try the shoulder shots again now that I have a better idea of the internals and locations.

@@Colonel_Overkill or maybe try getting better with accuracy?

You're welcome! Thanks for watching!

There is another youtube channel devoted to archery hunting called The Ranch Fairy and he calls it the vital v. straight down under the scalpula and 1/4 up from the bottom.

My daughters ph had flash cards showing the perfect place to hit , it allowed her five kills with five shots, , a third up center of leg was where we shot everything

I'm with you on aiming there to preserve meat. But must say yes to give the best ethical kill shot the up from leg and halfway from top to bottom looks better then I had expected or known before

Maybe change the projectiles you're using. I just switched from Hornaday ELD-X to Barns TTSX. That Hornaday round blew up in a mile deer I shot at just under 200 yards. I was picking bits of lead out of the meat and that was after I cut away all the bloodshot meat.

@@johnbowden9578 that is something I may look into. I've also considered switching from lead altogether but there seems to be very few options for that.

@@gregmulfort9577 y'all talking about ammo? I can't find any

@@davidboehlke1880 I have lots of ammo to last a while, but I've heard there's a shortage, which sucks. Don't know what to tell you. Keep an eye on sportsman's guide website, check daily. Stuff pops up on there but goes quickly as you'd imagine. I got 1000 of .223 there recently but you have to check often.

Is that straight up the rear of the front leg or the middle of the front leg?

Straight up the deer's rear. AKA the West Virginia Heart shot.

@@kevinalexander6812 I'm weak XD

We love to hear that!! Best of luck to you this fall!!

Awesome, glad it helped! Good luck this fall!!

Definitely what I thought. Imagine the heart of the deer and the angle to get to it. A shoulder shot rarely ends in a found deer with a bow

Amen! For our sake and the deers sake!

As the young I can say this has helped a lot.

That's what we like to hear! Congrats on your first deer!!

Thanks for sharing that! Good luck to you this fall!!

You are definitely right and I came to comment that. If the deer ducks you can hit the shoulder bone. You should aim 1/3 of the way down the body, center of the heart.

Great idea with the duct tape.

We certainly agree with the fact that animals sometimes drop at the sound of the shot. But what we were trying to demonstrate was where to aim, excluding any other factors (wind, rain, animal behavior, etc.), because that is an entirely separate video. And, every situation is completely different, so trying to explain or tell someone to aim low because the animal "might" drop won't necessarily help them to learn where to aim on an animal - and could certainly be confusing to a new hunter.

I mean... bullets travel a lot faster than sound. So even if it did drop from the sound plus reaction time, the bullet has already arrived and done it's job.

And... I did forget that we were talking about bow hunting here... lol. Excuse my comment. 👌

@@taylorloudenback5522 I have seen videos of animals reacting on long shots with big bore air rifles. They shoot about the same as light pistol loads (600 to 800 fps) so sound is getting there before the bullet arrives. They shoot fairly flat out to about 75 yards and are totally lethal with right slug set up.

@@Kurtdog63 sound is roughly 1100-1200 fps. Heat and cold changes that and elevation. But roughly that. I was referring to rifles which are typically twice that. Lol.

Amen! We hop it helps our fellow hunters!

Those are inflated lungs. What you see when you gut the deer is not what their normal state

@@DaDaDo661 yep, shoot when they inhale ; )

That may be due to broadhead choice, arrow selection/tune, or the bow not properly tuned causing imperfect arrow flight. Certain broadheads will blow through bones, add a good tuned arrow and tuned bow and your chances of blowing through bone go up. Good luck and shoot straight.

So true I was always told, don't fear, get the deer

Glad he found it. Heart shots are way overemphasized in bow hunting. Go for the lungs.

True, I took that exact shot on a 9 point buck 2 weeks ago massive Internal bleeding, arrow broke off inside the shoulder, no exit wound- thankfully I heard him crash 100 yards away and found him easy enough. And that was a Muzzy Trocar broadhead.

But he doesn't tell you this though too now if you know exactly where to make the shot placement of the deer facing toward you you can still kill it that way too it's all in where you put your shot at just like he says here

I've always used light arrows at 70 pounds, and they have always blown straight through the deer and usually buried halfway into the dirt on the other side, tho ive never hit bone so that may be a hard lesson to learn down the road

@@hannahmay5461 so just aim a little further back. Holes in lungs kill too.

Heavy arrows and fixed blade broad heads certainly help with penetration. But, any arrow and broad head, combined with good shot placement makes a deadly combo!

We're happy to hear the video was helpful! And we know, they are crazy tough animals for sure! Congrats on your buck!!

Good perspective on things, thanks for sharing!

Agreed! And we owe it to the animals we pursue!

Potentially. Kip is just trying to show where to aim for quickest most effective kill possible. He intentionally left out other factors because, as hunters we know there a hundred different things that can come into play when trying to harvest an animal.

Awesome, thanks for sharing!!

if 1/4 ing away, then angled behind the rib cage towards the front leg..... you are then plowing through the vitals into the heart.

I have put a bunch of 'em on the ground with this type shot!!! Like it better than broadside!!

Shot another one there tonight with the Raven R29X

We've seen it happen many times!

@@Whitetail_Properties i bet! I dropped a buck i was after all fall. 170ish. Dropped him. Calked my wife, called my bro. 4 minutes had gone by, got up and ran off. Brother got him w/ bow the next yr & scored 184

@@troboboulware8518 That's a tough one to swallow, at least the deer survived and your brother was able to harvest him the next year.

@@Whitetail_Properties yes it worked out in the end!

Double lung is a great shot, but, there is more room closer to the brisket than most realize.

That’s awesome, we love to hear it!! Thanks for watching, glad we could help!

Glad you found it helpful! Thanks for watching!!

Good luck!

We are glad you found it helpful! Share it with some buddies that could learn a thing or two!

We agree! Thanks for watching!

Glad you found it helpful! Thanks for watching!

There's an African guide in the comments recommending this, hope that helps. Read some of the comments and you never know what you'll learn. Good luck, shoot straight!

Glad you found it helpful! Thanks for watching!

They do usually hear the bow. But we have seen many instances where they do not move at all. Every situation is different. If the deer is edgy before the shot aiming a touch low is t a bad idea. Especially at longer yardages. But you just never know.

@@Whitetail_Properties tricky tricky… thanks for the knowledge :)

That's great to hear from a new hunter getting out in the woods!! We are glad you found the video helpful, maybe share it with your friends and they may learn a thing or two! Lol. Good luck this season!

They are tough animals! Stay after them!

Just aim for the vitals.

Hell yeah! Now you just have to see if you can do it when buck fever kicks in 😉

@@mdslax0172 yeah I know hope I don’t freeze up

Glad you found it helpful!! Good Luck this fall!

Glad you found it helpful! Kip is very knowledgeable and does a great job of explaining!

You're welcome!

Get it done! Good luck!

I kinda want to eat the heart too lol

Just ate my buck deer heart last night! 😋 Sauteed onions and garlic in lots of butter, then add cook till med rare..

I agree. And you don't mess up any other meat in that front quarter

There are tons of great hunting opportunities out west! You should totally take advantage of them!!
