    That's my favorite shot of all time with a bow. When they're facing away in full strut they can't see you draw. Shoot em right up the butt and they don't go anywhere.

    I hardly ever bother with a blind, so my only option is to wait for their tail fan to block their head so I can draw. I've always waited for them to turn after that, I'll have to try the tail pipe shot if I get a chance this year.
