Check out this crazy shot angle. This is the doe I shot a couple weeks ago. Per my rangefinder, it was 14 yards to where she was standing from my tree stand (approximately 16 feet up in the tree). The shot hit very close to where I was looking/aiming and should have entered on a downward trajectory. However, she had enough time to roll out/drop, which resulted in an upward angle...so much so that the broadhead lodged in the spine after taking out the onside lung. Amazingly tough and fast animals. The reaction time is amazing. She was relatively calm immediately prior to the shot.

I agree. Several folks have told me pigs and javelinas don’t duck arrows. Slo mo proves that to be wrong!

I found this very informational.
Deer Hunting! We've never been able to compare the simultaneous reactions of two deer, side by side, one head up and one head down to a bow shot until recent...
Cliff's notes: Shoot deer with their head up. If looking down, they can react quicker and move faster. If their head is up, it's the equivalent of catching them flat footed. They can still move to duck a shot, but it's less ergonomic for them.
