Probably wait on #1.  I hate when they're looking anywhere towards me.

Shot #2, I'm goin for the one lookin away.  Personally I try to put my arrows a tad higher, but not much just in case I'm off a little and my arrow goes low.

Shot #3, I'm right with ya on that one.

Nice pics, and it makes you think.

Hair back on one, agree on your choices for 2 and 3

Fall can't come soon enough.  I'll take any of those shots.  I would move #1 forward an inch due to his leg being back..or maybe I'll forget to not look at his horns and send one through his rack for a field goal.

On the first photo, I'd probably wait for another step to get the shoulder in a better position. If I shot at position in the photo, I'd aim back a little further then the red dot shown.

I would like the 1st buck to move his leg forward to open up the vitals a little more, but an acceptable shot if he isn't jumpy. 2nd shot I agree with your placement and I'm shooting the middle buck as well. 3rd shot is where it gets interesting for me- I try to place my shots exiting behind offside shoulder, but in this case I would shoot where u have it because of the severe angle, if I wanted the arrow to exit behind the offside shoulder I would have to shoot him just I'm front of the back hip (not going to chance sticking the back leg on a marginal shot. Keep these up, love them!

I'm in the same spots as you but number 3 seems a bit far for me. Thanks again

first pic: i'd wait him out just a sec to a) see if he quit looking at me and b) hopefully so his near side leg might be fwd. That said, i've blown more chances than i've had success!!

first shot I pass on until that attitude changes and one step foreward. The deer is alert and will likely jump the string and you will hit high and back. If he doesn't jump there is the possibliity of hitting the bone. I pass.
The other two shots are so good they are not hardly commentable except for yeaaaaa come on!!!!!!
Also it would be really hard for me to shoot those baby bucks. I would be thinking let em grow one or two more years.

God bless you all Steve
