Anthony's story is on another page. I was hunting the P & Y stand. This doe came right under my stand at about 1 yard. I let her go under my stand and shot her at 3 yards.  Just missed the spine and cut the artery under the spine. She went about 45 yards , stopped, and just fell over. I have seen all 4 deer fall from the tree stand, no tracking needed. Hunting is good and life is good.

HEy Keith,

I've let deer pass when they were almost underneath me because I was unsure of my ability to make a killing shot, but it obviously worked for you.  Was she straight down from you?  What's your take on straight down shots?  I've only killed 1 deer with my primitive stuff, so I'm not experienced with different shot angles.

Ive shot quit a few deer 1-3 yrds from my tree, basically straight down. Ive had nothing but positive results from this shot. Most hit the spine and dropped the deer in their tracks and a few missed the  spine but they only went a short distance. The way i see it, an arrow going through the boiler room at any angle is a good thing.

When you come upon a track or trail you do not know, follow it to the point of knowing.

  Way to go, Big A. Which bow?
Lakeland, Florida
 If you have to pull the trigger, is it really archery?

Billy,
The doe was at a slight angle off to my right side, so I had a shot at the side of her not directly down the middle of her back. It is a good shot to take. I have taken 4 deer from this stand doing that shot and have seen all four drop from the tree. You can"t kill them if you leave your arrows in the quiver.
