For me it's the tree stand shot  straight down between my feet.  I've shot high more times then I care to remember!

Years ago the night before the deer opener, I had a dream.  A medium 8 pointer with a heavy body was walking by at about 15 yards.  the buck fever was so bad that i thought that I was going to die.  when I was getting ready to shoot, or try to shoot, the deer turned his head, looked straight at me and said in a deep voice,, "What do you think you're doing".  Now every time a deer comes by and looks at me, I relive that dream nearly stroke out and crap myself.  When they figure they have had enough and start to leave I jump up, step into the shot and shoot the deer.  It sure would be nice if they would look somewhere else once, but being a still hunter and ground hunter that does not happen very often.  Perhaps my new bush in a bag may help with that.

The wide open shot, If I have to bend,kneel,sit or just about stand on my head I can most times make the shot. Wide open in a field, no wind, sun at my back.........I will not hit where I want to or miss all together.....no matter what the target!   :dunno:
In the beginner's mind there are many possibilities. In the expert's there are few...So the most difficult thing is always to keep your beginner's mind...This is also the real secret of the arts: always be a beginner.  Shunryu Suzuki

Yup!  10 yards or under.

I practice the close ones, but I have a mental block against them.

The bedded deer and the standing bear, I'd rather shoot the bobcat in a tree any time.
