Ep. 28: A Tough Shot in New Zealand and Perfecting Your Shot Placement

within bone range as you come to full draw. Or maybe you're set up across a canyon with your cross hairs on a bowl elk that's starting to walk away and then stops. Everything's right, You just need to release the arrow or pull the trigger. But there's one important thing. Where do you aim? This week on the podcast, I want to cover advanced shot placement. I want to talk about the major mistakes that I see with shot placement and how to pick an aim point for a lethal

shot every time. As hunters, making a clean, ethical kill is one of the most important skills to have and to know, so I want to cover the basics of anatomy and animals body position and angle. When you're taking a shot, and then ways to read an animal's body language to make sure that you're taking a shot at the right time. But first, I want to tell you of one of my favorite bow hunts for fallow dear down in New Zealand. There's really just something I love

about chasing fallow deer, especially during the rut. New Zealand has some great opportunities for fallo dear, and I'm really fortunate that I have permission to hunt a really good piece of property that reminds me a lot of where I hunt in northern Nevada or central Idaho. It's kind of canyon country, lots of rocks, big open lots of glassing, and it's just an incredible spot for spot and stock fallow deer. On this particular hunt, I was hunting with

a good friend of mine, Shane Dorian. Now Shane's pretty much a legend. I think it'd be fair to call him a legend in the big wave surfing world. But what you might not know about Shane is he's also an incredible bow hunter and he loves bow hunting. So it was awesome to get the opportunity to hunt with him, and I just wanted to take him to this place to hunt fallow deer because one, it's just an incredible hunt,

and too you get some awesome stocks. It's just a really good time and there's some really great bucks there. So the first day we went out, we were walking in this ridge where i'd actually seen some pretty good deer the year prior, figured we'd start there. Is during the fallow deer rush, fallow deer croak, they make like a I'll do it with my voice. It's more of like a frog pig, so down there and that's croaking,

and then they croak on their pads. So they clear out this area and it's like a rut pad and they stand there and they'll croak in the pads to track. The females assert their dominance, kind of like elk bugling, but they make this croak noise, very vocal animals. So we're sitting up on the ridge first thing in the morning and I hear some down in the canyon and it's just echoing because we're on this point and there's

three or four finger canyons that come around. Now we can't see down in the bottom of these canyons, but I can tell this this one just sounds he's going off pretty good. So I worked down the draw get to a point where we're trying to look up into this these draws, and I end up seeing this buck and it was a pretty good buck. He had everything you look for, big palms, good fronts, he was just a solid deer. We thought, okay, I think we can

make a play on this buck. So he's got a group of of does, and in this country it's so open the dear ceu and they just they start running from sometimes a mile two miles away, so you have to make really long stalks around stuff to get into position. The other thing that's working against you is there's just a lot of deer, so you spook one deer and they just start running for miles. So these ones happen to be below the good ledge, so I thought, let's

get in there. Maybe hopefully they'll stay in There's it looked like that buck was croaking on this path that he maybe he'll stay there a little bit longer. And he's got those does down below the cliffs, so if we get up above him, the wind was good, might be able to get a shot. We end up working in crawling up the face of this pretty steep cliff working down to this ledge, and we don't see the deer,

but I can still hear him down there croaking. Well, sure enough, we look down and these fallow does start funneling below our feet, like right below us, underneath us, and now here comes the buck. We can see him, just his antler tips before we can see his body. Shane draws back and the angle is so steep. I mean, he's literally got the buck right below him, and he's pretty much shooting straight down. It's like one of the most steepest angled shots I've ever seen taken. It was

pretty awesome. So he shoots the buck. Worked out great. We end up getting this buck. It's it's a really good deer and it was just an awesome hunt. So now it's my turn to hunt. Because I've shot deer there, I wanted to make sure he got a good buck first, so I pick up my bow and the next day

we go out. I'd spotted the buck the day before, so we kind of had seen a couple other deer that looked pretty good while we're packing that buck out, So we kind of went back to the same area I was glassing one way Shane was glassing another It's about mid morning. At this point. We've seen a few goats, wild feral goats, and some smaller bucks, but nothing I really wanted. And then we come around this rock point. Shane looks up and he spots this deer bedded in

the canyon below us. So I'm like, get down, take a look, like that's that's a nice buck. He didn't have the didn't have the big palms like his did, but it was just an old mature buck, like heavy and probably regressing. They get really heavy, their their paddles get really wide and one side kind of started to look uneven from the other. It was just an old mature buck, and I thought, yeah, that's I would take

that buck for sure. And the cool thing about it was he was bedded in a spot by himself, and it looked like a pretty good approach. The trouble was going to be that I would have to shoot cross canyon, so if I made any mistakes, he might be able to see me drawing and shooting. But there was enough cliffs and contour that I think I could get a shot at him, and that's the only way for the wind as well, So I waited. I watched the buck fell asleep, so I was like, perfect, this is my

time to make a move. I make my move in and get set up. Unfortunately, I would have taken a shot where he was laying but he just was at a wrong at the wrong angle. I kept trying to look with my binoculars and think about how I could get maybe a quartering away shot, but the way he was laying down, his shoulder blade was right over his vitals and it is more of a quartering two shots. So I just thought, okay, I'm just gonna sit here,

be patient. Wait. He has no clue I'm here. I've got a good, bigger, bolder kind of covering my outline. But I can see him, so if he gets up, I'll be able to make a move, and he shouldn't be able to see me. So I arranged the deer and think okay. But I'm looking at the deer and I think, man, this deer is really close. So I take my range finder out. I've got plenty of time and I range it. It's like fifty yards, like shoot it's a little It's about as far as I would

want to shoot, you know. I want to make sure everything's right for this, but I'm just thinking to myself, God, this looks really really close. Maybe it's just because it's a big body buck in the open. He just looks big, so I don't think anything of it. And I'm sitting there waiting for him to stand up. Well, he finally stands up. I come to full draw. He's like looking around, feeding takes maybe one step. I wait for the perfect shot, set all my fifth year pin where it should go.

Release the arrow. The hero sails over his back a ways and sticks into the ground above him. He like ducks down and looks and starts staring at the arrow. I thought, oh my gosh, and it's it's fairly The wind was in my face, so I don't think that he heard my shot go off. But all of a sudden, there's this arrow in the dirt above him. I'm like, how did I miss by that much over his back? So I was like, man, it just looks closer. I

maybe something was wrong, Maybe I misranged him. I don't know, Like, how often do you get two shots at the same deer. I mean, this should be a story where I just flat out missed in this buck got away, And yet I think because it went over his back and stuck in the dirt. It didn't hit any rocks or anything. He just was kind of confused and now looking at this arrow, he maybe jumped a few jumps, but wasn't

much further. And I could actually see the deer in the arrow at full draw, so I put my fifty yard pin on him again because this so I thought the range was And then I just saw the arrow in the dirt over there and moved my bow at the same level he was. It was right on my thirty yard pin. So I thought, God that just I felt like the shot was good. Something was wrong. He

looks close. I'm just gonna shoot for what that Because my thought was all right, if that's where the arrow hit, and I used my fifty yard pin, wherever that arrow hit should be the distance that it was if my first shot was good. So I readjusted shot him for thirty I put it right in the crease what I like to call the perfect triangle, right in the shoulder,

but not in the blade of the shoulder. And I'll talk about that later, but I said all the thirty yard pin released the arrow perfect pass through buck runs maybe ten twenty yards and just tips over. So what it ended up happening was somehow my range finder was broken. I don't really know what was wrong with it, but I tried ranging other things, and everything I ranged said

fifty yards, fifty yards, fifty yards. I should have trusted my instinct on saying, oh, he's actually thirty yards, but he looked close, and I just figured about I had time to range him, might as well range him. Turned out he was only thirty yards. But it was pretty awesome to walk up on that buck and know that I got one a very rare secon and chance, and two was able to adjust and make a perfect shot and it all worked out. But I just we just had to laugh afterwards because I was like, what is

going on here? I thought I'd missed the buck, Then he's staring at the arrow. Then I get another shot, and it was a pretty awesome, pretty awesome trip, pretty awesome experience. Shane came down, we got some photos, cut him up, pushing him up, and then packed him out. I can't really talk about shot placement without covering the four things that I think are the most important when it comes to shooting an animal that includes anatomy body position,

body angle, and reading the animal. So I'm talking about that. I'm talking about the body position of the animal, the body angle of the animal, and then just understanding what movements it might make, how it's acting, how it might react to your arrow, to your shot, whether it's moving,

whether it's stopped, all that kind of stuff. So I to cover that, but I first want to talk about a few of the mistakes I've seen through guiding and what is probably the most common mistake of new hunters and even guys that have been doing it for a while, you know, guiding in New Zealand, guiding in Montana, and just hunting a lot of other places. I've tend to find that most people shoot animals too far back. I

think it comes down to a couple of things. First off, white tail actually have larger lungs than a lot of other animals. You could shoot a white tail mid body and still clip lung. But when you start hunting other species or other animals, that's not always the case. It tends to be that everybody has the idea of you're

supposed to aim behind the shoulder. Now, while that is true in many cases, in many instances, it's not always true saying aim behind the shoulder in many scenarios maybe too far back, or it's just not the right part of the shoulder. I think people get confus used on what the shoulder actually is. So I tend to find a lot of animals get shot in the liver or even further back accidentally, or that's just where they aimed and thought it was going to be a good shot.

Very few when I'm guiding our shot perfectly, and I think it's because people have the misconception of where to aim, and where to aim is not always the same. So if it's quartering towards you quartering away, we're going to talk about all that where your aim points should be. I think the first thing to talk about in understanding

shot placement is going to be the anatomy. So if you're looking at, say the anatomy of a caribou versus a American bison versus a bear, versus a havilina versus a white tail versus an antelope, they're all very similar, but they're all very different in some ways as well. Things like wild pigs have a larger shoulder and vitals tucked further up in their bodies. Whereas a white tail

has their lungs further extending further back. I think if we're just gonna give you a rundown of basic anatomy, it's something that's gonna be hard to talk about for every species. So there's one thing that I suggest is, whatever you're hunting, study some anatomy diagrams. There's plenty of them online. You should really understand where the vitals are in every animal you're hunting. But I also want to

talk about where's the perfect place to take a shot. Now, you have to consider a few things when you're talking about the perfect shot placement. One, you want the most room for error, so you want a large center mass where if you make a mistake up, down, left, right by a small margin, you're still going to make a perfect shot. The other thing is knowing how and when to shoot so that when you do aim at that perfect spot, you're gonna hit it and the animal won't

react or something won't be in the way. Because you can name it one spot, and depending on the position of the leg or the way the animals facing, that might not be the right spot. So let's talk a little bit about the things that are true in almost all the species that we hunt, as far as anatomy goes and involves with I'm gonna break down the philosophy of aim behind the shoulder, and then I'm gonna tell

you where to aim and base that off anatomy. So when you think about a shoulder, when you're looking at a deer and elk, we'll just go with the deer. The shoulder is obviously in the front leg. But what a lot of people don't realize is the way the bone structure runs in the shoulder. So you unjealous, you have the scapula, which would be like our shoulder blade. Their shoulder blade is attached to the humorous it like a knuckle joint, but it's almost at a forty five angle.

So if you if you put your arms straight up and out and then you moved your hand at a forty five degree angle, that is the shape of what I would consider the shoulder. So there's this area I like to call it there. It's like a triangle area, and if you look at some anatomy diagrams you'll you'll really start to understand this better. But that that triangle air you out within the shoulder right behind that houses

there's ribs, but then there's the heart and lungs. Now, I tend to find that the best place meant for a shot is in that triangle. So you aren't hitting any bone in the scapula in the humorous you're going right through. And so in order to even hit the heart, you have to hit the lungs as well, because it's set up inside the lungs. So you hit the heart lungs. If you're a little high, you hit the lungs. If you're a little low, you hit more heart. But that

is the most effective shot placement to take an animal. Now, there's gonna be people, so you gotta just wait because there's probably people chomping at bit saying no, that's bad because if you're high, you'll hit the scapula. That's a bad shot. You should aim further back. Yes, and no, I'm just saying that to give you the idea of the anatomy. I prefer to shoot things more in the shoulder. But I'm also very careful where I aim, and I

understand the anatomy completely. Yes, if you make a mistake a little far forward, a little far back, you might make a bad shot. Now that's an area in the shoulder. So if you're looking at the animal, it looks like it's all part of the shoulder. Then you've got the crease back behind, and that crease would be the back of the shoulder that you see where the muscle is, and that crease is still within the lungs and still

a great spot to shoot. I think a lot of people when they say behind the shoulder, talking about that crease in the shoulder, and for most animals, if you aim there, that's great. Now where I think a lot of people make the mistake is they say behind the shoulder, and they put it two or three inches behind that crease, and now they're aiming at the liver. Especially depending on the angle of the animal, they're already putting it in

a spot where it might be too far back. Me personally, I prefer to aim a little bit tighter into the shoulder. And we'll kind of talk about that here in a little bit. So once you understand the anatomy, the most important thing before taking any shot, to take an ethical shot is going to be first the body position of the animal. Now some of this might sound basic, but we're gonna get into some more advanced stuff. In a little bit. So you just track with me. Here's the

basic positions that an animal could be in. So broadside, that's gonna just be completely side onto you. It's completely perpendicular to your view, to your point of impact, whether it's your air, whatever your arrow is, where you're shooting that animal standing completely perpendicular to you. Now you have quartering away. That's where it's front is a little bit more at an angle away from you, and its rear end is towards you. Then you have quartering to you.

That's where it's front shoulders are towards you, it's rear ends more away from you. Then you have frontal shot facing you and then facing away from you. So I'll just be like, all you've got is this back end. So out of that quartering too, broadside, quartering away facing you, facing away. The best shot, in my opinion, is always

quartering away or slightly quartered away and broadside. Now, I think a shot that's very difficult to make ethically, but if you understand it properly you can still make a great shot is quartering to you. Because the trouble is is the shoulder, the front of the shoulder. There's a point in the shoulder. I didn't talk about where the scapula meets the humorous and I call it the knuckle. It's the lower part, it's the furthest forward point of

the shoulder bone structure. If you hit that, most likely you won't get into the vitals. If your bow huntling, your arrow will stop there. If your rifle hunting, you'll probably blow the shoulder up, but it won't kill the animals you have. Let's take a follow up shot. It's not a good shot. It's not a good place to hit. And when an animal's quartering to you, that knuckle is really protecting the vitals. And then you've got the scapula as well, so you've got a lot of things working

against you. Also, if you then go okay, I'll aim behind the shoulder at that quartering to you. Angle putting an arrow or a bullet behind the shoulder is now having your trajectory going through non vital areas or areas that aren't as quick and clean ling like the lungs and heart. You might hit in that scenario the liver or intestines. So that's not a great position. Now, a lot of guys ask about body position. Elk facing you.

That can be a good shot if you know what you're doing, but also there's a lot of room for error, and then facing away never a good shot. Yes, there are guys that have intentionally shot them. They call it Texas heart shot. The trouble with that is it's not a very clean kill. There's a lot of margin for air, and you're gonna kind of taint the meat because you're hitting the intestines. So the two shots that you want to look for quartering away broadside. So now we all

also have to talk about the body angle. Where is that front shoulder on the animal? Is their leg back? Is there leg forward? Is he quartering two with his leg forward? Is he quartering too with his leg back? Is the animal quartering away with his onside leg back? Maybe it's even bedded. What's its body position there? What's that shoulder blade doing, what's that scapula doing? Where is it position in relationship to where your point of aim

should be. So if it's legs, the best shot is always when it's on site legs forward, because that generally pulls the opens up the vitals to the shooter. So that way your first point of impact, especially with a bow, is in the vitals without obstruction from bone, from possibly hitting something you don't want to hit, and it stretches out that key area of lungs, center of the lungs where you should be aiming for. So if you were to ask me, where is the best place to aim,

I always think of it like this. What I wanna do is I want to send a BOWLO and arrow whatever through the center of the lungs. If you hit through both lungs, that animal will expire extremely quick. Also, if you go through the lungs and the heart, that's also a great option. But you want the least amount of room for error. So what I do is I

kind of think of wherever I'm aiming. I want the arrow to exit through the triangle that I talked about earlier, in between below the scapula, above the humorous behind that point somewhere in that triangle of the opposite shoulder. So I'm always aiming for the opposite shoulders. So if it's perfectly broadside, I'll aim just inside the crease. I follow the onside leg up and I put it right in

that triangle there. Because I know that I've practiced with my weapon and I'm going to make that shot effectively, that's where I aim. Now, if you're maybe a little bit newer and you feel a little uncomfortable with that, then I would go just right back at the back widest point of that triangle and aim right there, so like right in the crease, dead center center mass of the animal there, because then you have margin of air

up and down, a little bit left and right. But I'm aiming for that arrow or bow bullet or whatever to exit through the center of that opposite shoulder. So if you think about it, now, let's imagine how this works. Is if you have a dear turn quartering away, what I do is I find the opposite leg, I follow up the opposite leg, and then where that intersects with the center of the body, that's where I shoot, because that's going to be the point that the straight path

travels through. So I'm always aiming for the opposite side of the shoulder. Now, if you're shooting down from say a tree stand, it's a little bit different, but you're also going to think, okay, I'm aiming for the center or slightly lower shooting through. So you always visualize whatever you're shooting to go completely through and you want to know where it's going to go completely through the center

of both lungs. So I'm still aiming for that center point, but i'd be aiming higher because I'm shooting down to get through the center point of the opposite side shoulder. Now where it gets a little confusing, is okay, Well, what if it's quartering to A lot of people think, well, the shoulders they're on a quartering two shot, I do the same thing. I'm aiming for the center of the opposite shoulder, so I would track up from the one leg from the opposite leg, depending on how their legs are,

I guess, But where is that arrow gonna exit? How is it gonna exit through the other side shoulder? And most of the time on a quartering two shot, I'm shooting inside the shoulder, so I'm shooting on the inside of the shoulder blade, which would be like more towards the neck, so it exits through the other side because I know that there's bone another thing in the way when it's quartering two. But like I said, whatever the shot angle is, I'm aiming for the opposite side of

the shoulder. And I can't say that enough. But once you kind of start to think in that realm, you're gonna have more effective shots and you're gonna know where to place your cross airs. I always tell people as well, if it's broad side, start by following the leg up and then the center of that. You can go back

an inch or two. But if you do that and you realize that looking through the scope now that cross has lined up with further back and not going out through the shoulder, then you're probably gonna have to adjust. So quartering away shots are the best shots. You really can't go wrong with quartering away because you're shooting toward everything. Everything's open up, you don't have the ribs. That's why a slight quartering away shot, in my opinion, is the

best shot. Then followed by broadside, especially if the front legs forward really opens up the vitals to you, gives you a good, clean, ethical shot. Now, one thing that you have to consider is the movement of the animal and understanding really just being able to read the animal. So a few things that I always look for, and by looking for these things really calms me down in the moment and lets me pay attention to what's going on. So the first thing about reading an animal is are

they alert to your position? Are they alert to you and understanding? What are they doing? So? Is the animal moving? Are they stopped? Are they stopped and alert? Are they feeding? What are they doing? Understand? What's that dear doing and what's he gonna do next? Based on his body language, based on his temperament, based on the scenario that you're in.

Because one thing you have to consider, especially with deer that are more used to surviving and living in thicker cover, is they use a lot of reaction based on sound and quick movement and sight at close range, so they're more likely to jump the string. Things like white tails access dear. You know, I actually even find antelope do jump the string quite a bit when hunt, taking it

a water hole, but not out in the open. And what's jumping the string or whatever is if your bow hunting right when you release the arrow, does the animal jump and react? Now, if it's aware of your presence and knows you're there, it's probably more likely to react.

That might include ducking or or moving down. So if you aim at the right spot that animal moves, well, now you had it at the center and you hit high in an area that's not vital, not lethal, or it jumps forward and you end up not hitting it where you want. That's why understanding or reading the most so important because it lets you anticipate where you may have to aim based on certain species and other things.

So let's talk about walking first. Generally, I would say you should only shoot at animals that are stopped, and there's a lot of ways to stop an animal. I mostly use a grunt or whistle, depending on what type of species it is, and the reason you do that is because it's better to have a stop shot now a lot of time, when you make a grunt or whistle, that immediately lets the animal know that there's something there.

They might look over at you. Hopefully you're already on them when you stop them, and you can take a shot before they really realize what's going on. So I grunt and shoot almost simultaneously. A second it stops. Shoot. Now, I'm trying to time that to where it's gonna hear the sound as it's foots back and moving forward, so it stops with its leg and looks over if I can. It's especially important with rifle shots too, because an animal might be moving across the hillside if you can stop it,

You're gonna have a better shot. Now, there are times on a walking animal where I will take a shot, but I have practiced those moving shots, and I know the right amount of lead for that, and in those instances, I'm generally aiming further forward in that triangle so that if they do continue to move, that arrow will still hit the vital area. One thing that I see a lot, and probably another reason that I a lot of people when they do make a bad shot, happens to be back,

is because they'll be shooting at a stopped animal. But as they shoot, whether it's a boat or a rifle, that animal will then begin to walk. So as they're shooting, their brain doesn't really register that the animals about to move. As they squeeze off they were a at one point, and that animals already in the process of moving or going to move, in which case, as they move forward, that might make the shooters point of impact, depending on how far it is an inch to four inches further back.

One thing that I always consider is if I'm watching for someone else, it's a lot easier if you're the shooter. You're focusing in on the animals, so it's not as easy to watch their body positions and their movements. But some things to look for is a lot of deer, especially white tail meal there you'll see if they aren't moving a lot, they're just kind of grazing, moving around. They flick their tail a few times before they take a step, so it's tail flick step, tail flick step.

Other animals their ears twitch or move, they move their head before their body, so you'll notice Just watching for those kind of movements and what the deer or elk or other animals doing might lead you to believe whether they're going to take a step or not. So if I'm spotting for someone that's about to take a shot, say a rifle shot, if I see that tail flick,

I say, way, he's going to take a step. Then as soon as he takes a step when he stops, shoot You're better off shooting at the beginning of a stop, then at the end of a stop and waiting for a long time. So if the animal has no clue that you're there, what I'm talking about is say you're set up with a rifle and the deer's stopped. He's not alert to your position. He's not focused on anything. He's just kind of browsing, so his head's down, he's feeding.

Put the crossers there and wait, he might get a tail flick. Okay, he takes one more step as he steps and stops with that leg forward. Boom. That's when I shoot, and I make it instantaneous on that stop, so I know that I'm not going to catch him in another step. Another thing too, if you're say rifle hunting, having somebody make a noise to stop him, that deers alert. But by that point they're stopped. They're looking in your direction,

especially if it's to yards out. Maybe they're walking. You've stopped him. Now they're looking towards the shooter, but they're stopped in a position where you can make a shot. One thing you always have to remember is just really analyzing the animal's body position. Are they truly broadside or are they slightly quartering too? Are they slightly quartering away? And then taking that knowledge of how their body position

is and focusing in on where you should shoot. Picking the right spot to shoot really does make you more successful, makes a track job easier. Is an ethical, clean keel. That's what we strive for. I know, like with bow shooting. I shoot a lot of three D targets and really don't base where you should aim on a three D target. A lot of the anatomy on those targets is pretty wrong.

A lot of the ten rings on three D film targets is quite a bit further back, and maybe that leads to guys shooting a little bit further back on most species as well. You know, just remember, pay attention and do a little bit of research. If you're hunting a new species you're you're new to hunting, really study the anatomy of the animals you're going after. Understand where that shoulder blade is and where everything is in relation

to each other. Another thing you should think about is after you get an animal down successfully, as you're skinning it out, move the leg forward and back, feel where the bones are and how that relates to the anatomy and where you should be shoot. The more you can study that, the better off you're gonna be. I I really truly believe that the difference between the most successful hunters, the guys that come back successful all the time, and the guys that come back with, oh man, I made

a bad shot or I missed I didn't. I didn't shoot him in the right place. We had to track for a long time. We ended up getting him the differences, paying attention to how the animals reacting, and really just picking the right point, whether it's understanding, if it's quartering to you, quartering away. All that is just key in

the follow up. So making a good shot is the most important thing in my opinion, But the next portion to that would be tracking and how you react and what you do after you take a shot, and maybe what you do after you make a not so good shot. Things do happen. We try to do everything in our power to make that perfect shot every time, but no matter how good you are, there might be those times

where you made a bad shot. Something happened, something unexpected happened, You didn't anticipate the right on a movement, and something went wrong. So next week I want to talk about the next step to this, which would be trailing and reactions after a shot. Last week I did some questions and answers. I really appreciate those coming back in. I've got already quite a few this week, so we'll get back to some of those questions here in a few episodes.

But We're gonna talk about this for now and then anything else you guys would like to hear. As always, feel free to shoot me the email Remy at the meat Eater dot com or on social media at Remy Warren mostly on Instagram. Everything else is just populated from Instagram, so that's kind of the only one that I use. This week's homework, everybody needs to go online for shot

placement and anatomy of animals. That's really what you want to do is just study the anatomy of whatever you're gonna be hunting, and even get a couple of different species side by side and look how those compared to each other. So your homework this week research some anatomy so that way when you're in the field, you can make sure you always make a perfect ethical shot. How would I even end to this one? Shoots straight? I guess alright, yeah, until next week shoots straight. Everyone
