They usually turn broadside eventually if you just wait them out. Planning for that is actually an important part of scouting and stand placement. Much of the time, with experience, you will know where they are going to come from, what trail they will be walking down and where they will be when you draw.
Practice, practice, practice. Do your shooting at 30 yards an closer when you start out. Be patient your time will come. Get with a product that is working for you an settle into using it, helps build confidence. Don't start changing your settings on your bow because you have a bad shooting day. Shoot the lower third of the deer. Settle into a spot on the target an release don't just aim an release.
Indeed it is: http://www.nyantler-outdoors.com/images/deer-anatomy.jpg Facing perfectly broadside, the leg/shoulder knuckle bone does a good job of blocking a good portion of the heart but if the deer is just slightly quartering away you can get right behind the leg and into the heart. For a perfectly broadside shot i'd still aim just above the leg because you'll either get heart or both lungs.
I was warned from the start that it's called hunting rather than killing for a reason. People can argue over what clothes to wear and scent lock this or this type of bow that. All nonsense. My grandpa used to hunt with a primitive bow in jeans and a red flannel shirt and the reason he was successful is because he did his homework to find out where the deer were, what the wind was doing, and he was patient. Lastly, practice shooting, but not so much as to tire yourself out or you will pick up bad habits.
paitence pays off big time. u could sit there for hours and out of no where a deer will be right there
I laughed when I saw this, every year we have our ups and downs and a down is definitely during deer season. Im never home but then again thats not always a bad thing for her!
My advice is no matter how much advice anyone gives you your gonna have to learn for yourself. No matter how many times someone tells you be patient your gonna be thinking about things you could be doing at home. No matter how many times people tell you to be still your gonna pull out your phone and text. No matter how many times people tell you to wait to draw your gonna probably draw too early and spook them. The best advice is your own, and that can only come from experience. my wise words of life are "only when you have done it do you know how to do it". And thats the truth of any situation, not just hunting.
