Shoot. An almost perfect quartering away shot. Just behind his shoulder with either a bow or firearm. That spot is partially concealed by the prairie grass but that won't affect the arrow or bullet at all at that distance.

I see white patch under the chin. That is where I'd aim with a firearm. Left side of the patch, catching the spine.

With a rifle or revolver, directly below the eye where the white hair starts and he would probably drop right there for an easy recovery. Like Tom, I would not feel comfortable firing with a bow, for fear of not hitting him with a decent kill shot and therefore the necessity of a prolonged tracking session in difficult tracking vegetation. None of my choice good kill shot locations on his body are visible. Probably an easy enough shot with a bow slightly down into the grass line, but I would pass. Even an arrow can occasionally not leave enough of a blood trail for a short distance or short period of time and a deer can certainly dissappear into that tall grass easily making recovery very tedious. But, if I had him dead to rights at 25 yards with a full draw, I might be tempted to place the arrow in that same white spot directly below the eye line. Leave a Reply. |
