I hold low always. I don`t take straight down shots because its near impossible to get both lungs like that. Lance and Chris both will tell you a one lunged deer can go a mile. We`ve all three seen it.RC
So true, I learned that on my first buck with a bow. I had a heck of a spike come walking dead towards me. I was on a poplar with no cover. I had to wait till he walked right under my stand and straight behind me. I turned around, drew my bow and aimed just to the left of the spine. Got a good shot, but couldn't find him till the next morning. He had ran down the ridge, up over another ridge and laid in a creek in the next hollow. Fatal shot, but they still run a good ways.
BTW- excellent advice on aiming low.
