That is a very good observation about quartering deer and worth noting. A couple years back I was crossbow hunting for a meat doe and when I looked over to where she was, I thought it was a short coupled fawn of the year. Nope, it was a mature doe with a lot longer body, but quartering toward me. A shot tight behind the near shoulder resulted in a several hundred long tough trailing job with minimal blood. I’d only got the back of one lung, the liver and through the gut. Lesson learned.
