A club no poke it in the eye no sit on it's head no grab it by the tail swing it around and hit it's head on a tree awwww never mind just shoot it again. j/k
Seriously what ever you do be carefull and don't get to close to the hoofs or horns cause they can hurt ya.

yeah we touch the eye and if it isnt a trophy worthy buck...shoot behind the ear so it is a guaranteed kill...it stinks to do that though

This may sound bad but instead of wasting another round, i will just knife if through the heart. That can get dangerous though and i wouldnt recommend it if you dont feel comfortable. Ive done this on 2 deer and it has worked out. Sometimes its sad because the knife will pulse with the heart for a few seconds before it stops.

I also shoot in the head quick kill + if there is any chance the heart is not damaged I am not wasting it
I love the heart better then the tenderloins

I do it the same as huntingman, get in close enough for one more vital shot or head.
I cut a Doe's throat once to end her suffering after she was hit by a Vehicle,
I had a knife and a pistol on me but she was on the edge of the roadway, I was waiting for a Game Warden but
his arrival was taking too long and I couldn't stand to hear her suffer any longer.
