RE: best kill shot
i am gonna say this (not to bud into a argument). if u wnat to take a head shot at least respect the game u are shootin at. dont say o its only a doe. take time, be ehtical. if u are confident in your shot to the head how bout a shoot for the heart and u wont ruin any meat. i got a doe tonight by the way. beautiful creature. will look even better on the grill

I like to get the top of the lung and the bottom of the spine. it puts them down fast and is very humane. But that is only if I get a really good look and I have time to aim really carefully. If its in a lot of brush or very far, I take them through the heart and lungs. BB

RE: best kill shot
double lung is the best kill shot. i dont think a neck shot is a very good shot with a bow. it may be ok with a gun b/c of the shock but that would be the only reason to shoot one in the neck. personally, no heart/lung shot, i dont shoot.

When you hunt, you should go for the area where you can down the deer with a little amount of error in shot placement, and one that will down the animal quickly and effectively.
Saying this...right behind the front shoulders, in the lung and heart area, is the best place to shoot a deer, whether using a bow or a gun.
I doubt that any of us here can put 3 rounds on a quarter at 300 yards, so we all should be shooting behind the front shoulder, bowhunters and gun-hunters alike.
