Straight up the leg for me

When I bow hunt I usually shoot at the first part of the deer i see cause theres a very good chance of crippling it up anyway with a bow.

First deer I killed with a bow I put a 2 blade on a heavy arrow through both shoulder blades that passed through. the deer ran a long way but circled like a rabbit and dropped close to my stand.

Great article on information bias. The data is coming from a deer tracking dog service. I would only call in a tracker for a marginally shot deer. Easy track jobs a tracker would not be necessary. If you took this at face value a guy shot deer would lead to more recoveries than a heart shot deer. Bad data.

I try to avoid the shoulders no matter what. Bow is potential for losing a deer, gun just destroys a lot of meat. I just try and stick with the lungs.

That chart was assembled (I believe) by a blood dog tracking group or individual. What one could take from this chart is that you don't have to bring in a blood dog for a deer shot in the shoulder.

Survivorship bias.
