Yes... the video clearly recommends that you shoot at deer with their head up rather than down. :banging:

one was relaxed licking it's butt, and the other reacted quicker, who knew :) perhaps one was dropping with gravity and the other was preoccupied????

Poor example . The deer with its head up had it's neck turned and was preening itself . It didn't react at the same time as the deer with its head in front of it's body and ear turned towards the bow. If one reacted sooner it would of course drop sooner. The deer doesn't drop quicker when it's head is down . Muscles contort or move the shape of the body. Even then it doesn't move fast enough to move out of the way of a properly aimed arrow like 20 stated.

Acorns and winter wheat are frontrunners and getting a good grip to pull down with.

Exactly the deer uses its muscles to lower the kill zone faster than gravity could just drop it.... Just like Dr. Woods said

But the deer doesn't drop faster than gravity. It uses muscles to reconfigure it's body posture . If the arrow is properly aimed (lower third of killzone) you get a vitals hit and a dead deer whether it's head is up or down.

You notice he didnt think a deer could move faster than gravity until last week either......

Also, notice he hasnt done a video showing proof that his trapping helped his turkeys.

Uses its muscles to reconfigure its body to make its heart and lungs drop faster than gravity which is exactly what I said all along. Head down it can do this more efficiently.

Nope. Look at the video. The arrow would have clipped or went over the deers back

He has video proof of 1 thing, none of the other thing. Thats why he wont say that trapping works.
