Aim small miss small.
This is a screenshot off my phone.. second time I've seen this pic and several different answers. Thought I'd share on here and see where everyone stands, just for fun..

"A" is too high, and a little too far back. "A" is a little to close to the spine if the deer ducks a little and too far back if the animal goes forward. "B" is the better choice, but not exactly where I would aim.

Why these two choices?
 
I would actually aim right where the "B" is rather than either green dot. A is too high and B is too close to the shoulder for me.
 
I choose b. room for error if the deer drops but the deer is walking so it give a little room for error that way also a is also a good double lung shot of he was standing still I would not hesitate to aim a little higher towards the a to ensure a quicker kill.

I aim for B.. more room for error if he ducks. If he doesnt duck, then it looks to me like you have a heart/low lung hit whereas A would be lung only and if he ducks at all, you may likely be screwed.. as far as actual shot placement though, id be happy with either.. I should say that I would probably aim for A on a steep angle treestand shot
 
Don't shoot he's only a 3 year old LOL. Seriously I aim just to the right side of dot A shooting down from a treestand getting the top of one lung and bottom of the other with him standing still
 
A leaves the most room for operator error. At 26 yards he's not ducking the string unless he's staring right at you. B is just too tight to the shoulder although its where I usually aim.

A is hands down the best all around choice given the parameters of the shot.
 
this is what I like about this picture, a variety of different opinions and preferences! I personally would take "A" and aim to the right couple inches and down 4 inches putting my arrow right in the middle of the two options, plenty of room for error if he jumps the string, and a dead buck within 100 yards:way:

Keep em comin!
 
I should aim for B though in the heat of the moment I would probably forget and aim for A (center body mass) and wish I hadn't. Anyone who doesn't think a deer will drop at the shot at 26 yards is shooting a bow that is a whole lot quieter &/or faster than any I've ever seen or used. I've had them drop to my crossbow at less than that. Admittedly it is a noisy SOB, but it is also very fast.
 
I'm drawn to the "crease" or "pocket" behind the leg, so I would be aiming more at the B area than A.
 
I would aim for in between but would take an A hit over a B hit. High lung shots in my experience will go down in sight....heart shots can make it a distance....either way it is a dead deer though
 
A gives you a little more room for error but B would be a better hit IMO. From "B" ... go inch left and inch up and that's where I would let it fly. I have hit a couple deer in that high area after they drop a little and have had terrible results from that hit.
 
I'm with JRudd on this one.

If we have to choose one of those two points, from where that picture was taken (ground level) I go with B. If I'm in a tree, I'd go for A. Ideal would be smack dab between the two points.
