I am not going to advise anyone to take the straight on shot, I would wait to see if another shot is presented. With that said I have taken 3 whitetail with a facing straight at me shot. One was with a bow and 2 with a gun. The ones with a gun dropped in there tracks the one with a bow ran about 100 yards. All these shots where taken in my earlier years of hunting, poor choices on my part I think but got lucky. Now days I would rather wait to see if a better shot is presented
