Good evening lc45, thanks for stopping by. You brought up some interesting points about elevated shot placement. I have looked all over the net and cant find any pic's showing shot placement from above. Just like you, its all in my head. I think as long as a hunter knows where all the vital organs are , they should be able to find the best arrow placement. As for new bow hunters here..everyone that has posted so far, seems to know their stuff. I just like posting the basics sometimes, just in case.

Speaking of shot placement, check this one out..lol

Texas Heart Shot -
Shooting at a strutting spring gobbler is a risky venture. When a turkey struts his feathers are puffed out away from his body, making the location of the vital areas difficult to determine. You can usually bring a turkey out of strut by making a couple of clucks on a turkey call. If this doesn't work, the best shot at a strutting gobbler is to wait for him to turn his fanned tail toward you. With his back turned and his head hidden by the fan, you can draw on him without being seen. Then aim at the vent (anus) at the base of the tail. Your broadhead placed in this location should hit the heart, lungs or liver and maybe break a leg or wing too.

Page 105 I believe. It took some digging! Personally from this type of angle I'm taking the middle of the neck/spine. Bow or gun I prefer a head/spine shot to stop them where they stand and finish them if need be. I love deer season but hate to see them 'get away' with a broadhead/bullet in them.

Wisconsin bow/football season is upon us!! GLTA -
