Straight down from my tree stand. Literally at the base of my tree that I had climbed 50 feet up. Entrance was between the shoulders and exit on bottom. After I shot it appeared he was still standing looking down at him. Then I realized his legs had simply folded up and had gone straight down and never twitched. After climbing down had to hop over his body to dismount my stand.
Have shot numerous deer that were 5 yards or less from the base of my tree but i was far higher in the tree than they were from the base. Closest I've killed one from the ground was about 8-10 yards.
