X Marks the Spot Series 1

[WapitiTalk1]

OK, the stars have aligned and you find youself within 30ish yards of these beasts while bow hunting. You have the wind, and, to this point the bull(s) are unaware of your prescence. You've came to full draw. Now, do you shoot or wait? If you shoot place and "X" on the spot you pick to shoot or simply say wait for a better shot.

If you save the picture to your desktop and open them up with paint or a similar program, you can place an X, O, or whatever showing where you would shoot.. Then, respond to thread with your comments, and, add your adjusted image(s).

Shoot or wait for the first three bulls please. RJ

Thanks cnelk, you saved me a lot of photoshop work

[RockChucker30]

ditto cnelk.

Bull #1's attention is to the left.
His legs are in position so that his next step(s) could be in that direction.
In just a few seconds, when he moves that way, the shooter will have a nice shot.

Another example on what to possibly 'recognize'...

#3 is very close! Be careful not to hit much higher than ur "X"!

Good answers from both of you guys. Kill shots for sure. But on the broadside shots I would aim for just about 3 inches lower to help insure a better blood trail.

cnelk is dead on as far as I am concerned

#1- wait
#2-shoot
#3- Can't shoot, already filled my tag on #2, just kidding, shoot.

im also with cnelk

[Bowhunter]

cnelk has it right....I would do the same but I hope that first bull moves soon because I'm shakin and about to loose it...

[cnelk]

The biggest reason I would 'Wait' on bull #1 is he is still in velvet....

Oops. I missed one somehow. I like Cnelk's placement for the one I missed. And it looks like O marks the spot.

This shot only works for me from 10 yards and in.
