Here is this weekend's shots.
The first

Where I'd shoot.

Shot 2. I'm shooting at the back buck.

But before everyone says, "you might hit the buck in front, he might lift his head," Look what happens at the shot   :)

Shot 3

Notice I picked lower because the buck is alert. Great thing is my arrow is already on the way   :)

The Mulie has you pegged aim lower for me.  The lope looks good.  Your going to miss that white tail when he drops and rolls.   I would have passed that shot.

I like 'em. Even the whitey cause the arra is gone and he's a dead dude and is just lookin up at the sound of my quiet longbow  :)

Sorry Clay, I was within 15-20 yards of that buck for over 10 minutes, he didn't have a clue I was there, and is not lookin at me. He's dead, if I do what I'm supposed to!  :)

I'd wait for a while on the Muley and the antelope.  I'd shoot that whitetail about a 1/4" higher and to the right    ;)

My iPad Photobucket doesn't work like the real thing.

Good to know.   I never shoot at alerted animals.  Just my thing.

I would probably wait on the Muley (at least that is what I say here in the living room, not in the heat of the moment with a buck like that).  The other points look perfect to me.  I've seen as much game in the last three days as in the last three months.

I would wait on the mule also, and the lope would be 2 inches higher on your mark, and the last deer up about 3 inches from your mark.
