From the top of a deers back to the middle of its body how far down in that on lets say a doe 100lbs and a buck 180lbs? Just wondering about bullet drop...
 
I found this on http://www.chuckhawks.com/kill_zone_game_animals.htm

Here are some top of back to bottom of brisket estimates for other common North American game animals taken from various sources, but primarily from Jack O'Connor's book The Hunting Rifle:

Pronghorn antelope = 14"-15"
Small deer = 14"-15"
Medium size deer = 17"-18"
Large deer = 18"-20"
North American wild sheep = 20"-22"
Mountain goat = 22"-24"
Caribou = 24"-26"
Elk = 24"-26"
Moose = 30"-36"
