[QUOTE="Bigeclipse, post: 1137014, member: 52437"] All, I know people say the average vital zone on a whitetail broadside is like 8-10inch in diameter. What I am wanting to know is "about" how tall is the whitetails body from the top of its back to its belly? Not how tall it is off the ground. I'm talking average adult deer including bucks and doe. My wife's rifle is a 7mm-08 and I know at 300 yards it is dropping about 13 inches. She does not have target turrets and she does not have those hash lines that some scopes has. She has a standard leupold 3-9 vx2. Anyways she does shoot to 300 yards a lot and her groups average 4 inches so if she were to Kentucky "elevation" the deer by aiming like at the top of its back or such...it would be nice to know the average deer dimensions. She will likely not take this shot...but if conditions were right she might. Thanks. [/QUOTE]
