Question for the more experienced whitetail whackers, do deer only run forward after being hit (in regards to bow shot)? I finally saw bucks in my backyard!!! From my deck I saw 2 bucks, but they were facing the street , probably came from the woods at the back of my property. So my question is, if they get hint while facing in the direction of my street, will they run back into the wood or straight into the street? My stands are located in the edge of the tree line and my backyard. I live on a quiet street and its unlikely they will get hit by cars, just more issue with them dying on a neighbor front yard in view of kids. So should I wait for them to turn around and face the woods to shot or do their instinct tell them to stay in wood and not go into open space? Would does and bucks react the same way? Thank you!
