When it comes to hunting deer, there are many skills that hunters must master if they want to bring home a monster buck in a way that\u2019s ethical and humane. One such skill is correct shot placement, which is crucial to ensuring a quick and clean kill and preventing any undue suffering for the deer.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

During their recent appearance on the National Land Podcast,<\/a> Cole Cannon,<\/a> Jeff Danker<\/a>, and Daniel McVay<\/a> from BuckVentures Outdoors<\/a> spoke with Mac Christian on tips to master shot placement and the reasons that this skill is so important for hunters. Let\u2019s take a look at a few common deer shot placements, as well as their reasoning for why correct shot placement is necessary for ethical hunting and harvesting! <\/p>\n\n\n\n

Different Kinds of Shot Placements<\/h2>\n\n\n\n

This section will examine three common types of shot placements as well as a few benefits and drawbacks.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Broadside Shot<\/h3>\n\n\n\n

This is the most straightforward and effective placement for a fast and clean kill. For this shot, the deer is standing perpendicular to the hunter, exposing the broad side of its body and allowing a clear view of its vital organs. The ideal target is located just behind the shoulder where the heart and lungs reside.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Quartering Away Shot<\/h3>\n\n\n\n

In this shot, the deer is angled away from the hunter, which exposes more of its vital organs on one side. By targeting behind the shoulder and angling toward the opposite front leg, a hunter has a good chance of hitting these vital spots. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

For a shot like this, hunters pick out small features on the deer such as markings or tufts of hair to hone in their aim and ensure a good shot. As the adage goes, aim small to miss small!<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Quartering Towards Shot<\/h3>\n\n\n\n

The quartering toward shot is a more difficult shot than either the quartering away or broadside shots because the deer is angled toward the hunter and exposes less of its vital organs. This type of shot is typically not recommended for beginners, since it\u2019s hard to avoid non-lethal areas like the shoulder which would require a follow-up shot.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Advice for Beginners<\/h2>\n\n\n\n

For those just starting out on their hunting journey, Danker and Cannon provided a few insights as to how beginners can improve their shot placement skills and mentally prepare themselves to take that first shot. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

Danker explained that understanding the different shot placements and learning which shots are right to take is crucial for any new hunter, stating, \u201cSo we know we\u2019ve got broadside shots and know where to hit the deer. We\u2019ve got quartering away shots, which is a very ethical shot and we know to shoot for the exit. We teach people to shoot for the exit, so if we\u2019ve got a quartering away shot, we think about where that [bullet] is going to come out. And then we teach that we don\u2019t shoot quartering toward shots or frontals.\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n

\u201cOne thing I would teach anyone is never shoot to miss a deer. We always aim for the perfect broadside shot, and I do teach to aim for the heart. The whole saying of aim small, miss small is no joke.\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Mastering the Basics<\/h3>\n\n\n\n

Danker and Cannon also stressed the importance of mastering the basics and putting in the work beforehand to ensure that the deer experiences the least amount of stress and suffering possible.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

When it comes to honing these skills, Danker stated, \u201cThe muscle memory, the backyard [practice] matters. The basics do matter, and another thing is some guys watch all these TV shows and now they\u2019ve never shot a deer but they want to go out and shoot a 150.\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Emphasizing the need for repeated practice, Danker suggested that new hunters can work on their shot placement by hunting does since it can be a good way to manage what many know as \u201cbuck fever,\u201d a state of overexcitement that comes about when inexperienced hunters see game that often causes them to miss. Danker stated, \u201cWhat I would teach is to go shoot some does. A lot of people can sit in a deer stand and here comes a doe and you\u2019re not going to shoot them so you\u2019re not nervous. But as soon as someone says \u2018We\u2019re going to shoot this doe,\u2019 all of a sudden your heart starts going, blood starts pumping, and remembering to pick your spot is a major deal.\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n

It\u2019s also important for new hunters to understand their capabilities since new hunters lack the knowledge and experience of more seasoned veterans as Cannon explained. \u201cI think part of it too is knowing your abilities. Whether you\u2019re a beginner or you\u2019ve been doing this for 30 years, especially if say someone draws a bow at 45 pounds. That person is going to have a totally different range than someone like us who\u2019s shooting 70 pounds with a 30-inch draw and shooting 50 feet per second faster.\u201d <\/p>\n\n\n\n

\u201cIt all depends on your abilities, the weapon you\u2019re using, and how comfortable you feel at 20 yards compared to 60 yards. It all depends on knowing your level of competence.\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Why is Shot Placement So Important?<\/h2>\n\n\n\n

As mentioned above, shot placement is one of the most crucial skills for a hunter to master because proper shot placement ensures that the target game won\u2019t experience any undue pain or suffering. Many experienced hunters hold a deep reverence and respect for the game they hunt, instilled by countless hours spent tracking and observing these animals.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Danker explained his personal philosophy on the importance of shot placement, stating the following:<\/p>\n\n\n\n

\u201cAnother thing we teach is this is a deer\u2019s life and it\u2019s serious business. We don\u2019t want to try to get lucky, you have to put in the time. We\u2019ve been talking a lot about archery, but even with a gun if someone is a beginner, I would tell them they\u2019ve got 2 shots: quartering away or broadside.\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n

\u201cI can\u2019t state it enough that you have to be prepared before you get in the moment because you won\u2019t have the willpower unless you set it then. And again, back to the idea of respect, it needs to be about the animal and not about yourself. That\u2019s the big deal and your mind has to be prepared to assess, \u2018Can I make an ethical shot in this situation?\u2019\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n

\u201cMy mentality is all about respect. Will I celebrate when I see the big deer? Absolutely! But I\u2019ll tell you right now that when I get to the deer, that deer is getting every bit of respect from me. I don\u2019t care if it\u2019s a doe or a buck, I\u2019m not going to pick it up and just drop it when I\u2019m done. I\u2019m going to set it down. I am going to give that deer all the respect. I\u2019m always going to do that, I want to respect the land. I want to respect the game we\u2019re hunting.\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n
