Don't spook and shoot. The risk of shooting someone else or wounding the deer is not worth the chance you may lead it correctly and get it.
Identify your target.

You'll be surprised how effective your hunt can be if you have a stop. Look, listen, smell and look for horizontal lines and movement.
Deer can be noisy if they feel safe.
