When hunting brush, I learned to shoot the deer in the air. Why? Because they can't changed direction once they leave the ground and are on a predictable arc. Just like shooting quail.
Since I hunt on stands now and usually by myself most are standing these days.

The above is correct. ie: don't shoot when their front feet hit the ground.


All guns should be locked up when not in use!
