Sure, it is about 300 yards southwest of my house. I am very fortunate to own some private ground in good deer territory.

Congrats on a great deer, Bill!  Welcome to the club.  Interesting hit placement; was he quartered to a bit?

No I think luck had a big part in where the arrow went. He was perfect broadside when I shot so I assume that I hit the front part of the shoulder and the arrow angled back a bit taking out the lungs. I was very thankful when he almost immediately went down. The shot was far from perfect but I'll take luck any day over a bad hit.
