Lance Report post Posted December 19, 2005 From the top of a Coues deers back down to a vital zone is only about 3". From the top of a mature bucks back to the bottom of his briskit is about 14" So I would say from the top of his back to the center of the heart on a brodside shot is about 10 or 11". But I wouldn't aim for the heart. it is too close to the bottom. I would aim for the center of the lungs for a bigger target. I hope these mesurments help.

Couesi1 Report post Posted December 24, 2005 Just hold behind the shoulder and kill him. If you have a range finder and know what your bullet is gonna do.....it's elementary. Of course, however, the whitetail factor can kick in and that's what makes it so exciting. c-1 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
