Missed buck

[greybark]

Bluesman , you are right about the the buck swinging away at the arrow release . With compounds they tend to squat or crouch (jumping the string) as the first step to launching themselves from harms way with the arrow passing over the deer where the kill zone was . . However with traditional bows some of the larger WT bucks will simply rotate on their hind legs to gallop the way they came in (safe route) . Arrows intended for the sweet spot now pass by parallel to the deer and this scenario is quit vivid on the numerous reruns in your mind . lol
