 Your bow has a 20 yard flat flight potential and you have 3 pins which are 20 - 30 - 40 What do you do and why? |

me personally, I wouldnt shoot as the white one looks to be very young, could be an intersting deer in a few years and the larger doe is obstructed by trees, unless that is she stepped out.

Very interesting the way you looked at this scenario Turf. Obviously you have a pretty open mind and can get out of that box  Congratulations ..... thats some original thinking  |

I also said let down as the two in front are both does. I have no doe tag and I don't like the bushes in the way of the one doe anyway. The one in the back ......... Well not sure it is a buck. Can't see visiable horns and would hate to make that kind of mistake.

I'm gonna hopefully be at full draw, and waiting for one either the close adult to offer me a shot, or the deer in back, if it comes closer, as 35 yards is out of my self imposed limit. I wouldn't shoot the fawn as 1- I don't feel the need, and 2- it might possibly be a buck. And in all honesty, depending on my mood, I might not take the doe with the fawn either.
Oh yeah...I definitely wouldn't be hunting over a bait pile either, even though it is legal in some areas I hunt.

It was a very big tree and the apples all fell to the ground when he cut it down. Also removed the stump , compacted the soil and racked it till it match the surroundings ;D (trust me...I know 2 people who would try to convince a warden of this ) |

O.K. ..... I am gonna be the wise guy here.
I am going to take the quartering away shot because that little stick in the way is going to be below the arrows trajectory and the other higher one is going to be below it.
30 pin on top of the limb that goes across the deer and center. The arrow is going to fall in perfectly whereas I have no great shot on the two deer in front of me.
With a 10" gap every 10 yards that looks to me like the 1/3 mark for impact with liver and lung.
Can I sell that?

I say I would drop my elbow and wait on the doe on the right.
Honestly, that piebald is real tempting.

If the piebald was older, I would probally take it. That would be a nice trophy, but not as young as it is.
