Having hunted them they are the quickest to react game I have seen.
Seeing this video brought back wonderful memories from the 5 trad hunter buds that went in 06.  :campfire:

Nice job   :archer:

Nice shots. I certainly won't claim to the situation of other hunters but a hunt like that is certainly not financially or physically unattainable if a person really wants to go. If Terry gets a group together I may even go this time. Saying I wish I could all the time gets old.

Good stuff.  Seems like some of the Texas deer hunt videos where you posted the point of aim was below the animal knowing they'd drop into it.

Congratulations

I can't speak for the others but I can tell you this....

I saw my impala Flitch twice...... And I aimed where he was gonna be...... And it worked perfectly

Good memories - One of the impala's I shot from 20 feet above, nearly ducked the arrow.  Hit it high in the shoulder but angled down through the vitals.  I thought I had made a bad shot, but upon looking at the video it was because the Impala ducked the arrow.
All the other animals I took didn't duck the arrows.

They are a great animal to hunt and they are as quick as demonstrated. As I have been fortunate to have taken 4 (with longbow) over 25 years I would say that the "traditional" advice still holds: the closer the shot and the calmer the animal, the best chance of beating their reflexes and of a good hit.  I only offer this  to let the uninitiated go at it with confidence.  It is very doable with a longbow.

One of my hunting partners, a man good at it, did not believe deer jumped the string. Now he does...
I show videos like this to my Science class, to illustrate the high stakes in the predator-prey relationship.
We calculate in mph what a 165 fps arrow is, and inevitably they are impressed.

By the way, that landscape resembles Arizona.

For the record, I did not aim for the heart, I aimed for where the heart was going to be.....

And based on my Texas hunt experiences it worked perfectly.....

I watched my impalla twitch twice which gave me the target area I need to aim for..... Which was 4" behind and 3 inches low of the heart
