I've shot deer directly in the anal before .They go down fast . Straight on shot. 15 Yard's from the blind.Walking away from me .

[Normous]

Messy.

It's really not as bad as you think.

My Grandfather did this with a long bow and cedar with homemade arrow head's .60 yr's ago.Then he would go on about the snow shoes they wore .To hunt these deer.They snuk up on them a lot .
Find fresh track's and go git um in the snow.
I remember it would take us 1 hr to go 50 ft at a time.Walk and Stalkhe clled it.

I did that with a 30.06 once . . .the deer was running away from me after I had already broken it's leg and I was stalking it . . .I shot and it fell. I found a 1" piece of bone lying on the ground as I was getting ready to field dress it.

The exit wound was along the neck, but, I was unable to find the entrance wound. When I started the skinning, I figured it out . . .it was a bullseye.

The bone was a piece of shoulder bone.

That's when I was very young and wreckless . . .I'm still wreckless . . . .

To purposely shoot a deer that way with an arrow is one of the dumbest things I've read. You wouldn't be welcome in my hunting camp.

If I depended on game for the table to feed my family, I would not hesitate to take that shot!! But since I don't, I just let them walk.

I have heard of quite a few drop very quickly. I also know of a few that walked a long way with the broadhead chewing away at the insides. Not a pass through and no blood trail to follow. One a farmer found over 4 miles away while harvesting his bean field.

In the first book that Chuck Adams wrote, he talked about this shot at length. It's a direct route to the vitals with very little resistance and most times the animal will not hear the shot. Besides the center shot, there is a femoral artery running down the back of each leg. This femoral artery shot kills as quick as any and also leaves a massive blood trail.

Again, not a shot I'm prepared to take unless my table depended on wild game.

[Riflemanz]

I would not take this shot either,i wait for a good percentage killing shot or i let them walk.

[one shot scott]

Ive never done it, but I helped field dress a deer that's been shot in that manner. Not a pretty picture! For me to pull off a shot like that it would have to be a monster 20pnt buck, or I would have to be starving.

[flightattendant100]

That is a Texas heart shot!

Thats just mean spirited!........pretty true, but mean spirited none the less.

[jh45gun1]

Some folks are just too ANAL about this shot.
Sorry could not resist. I have shot several deer this way both with bow now crossbow and rifle. Never lost a deer. Not my favorite shot but I have not lost a deer yet taking it.

Forgot to add I had a friend who also believed in it and I watched him shoot several deer that way and he too never lost one with this shot. Same with what the so called experts write about shooting a deer head on. never had a problem with that shot either.
