And as many of us know the story of the one that got away without a shot stings a whole lot less than the one we wounded and it got away because of a poor decision.
Great advice. Id rather watch him walk away having a curse battle with myself and entering my pity party because I wasn't presented a good shot than forcing a so so shot. When I'm at full draw I need to hear the little voice in my head say "perfect, that deer is dead" before I hit my release.
Seen someone take a front shot on an elk watching the outdoorsman channel and he said a good front shot is about the size of a softball that you have to hit accurately and anything outside of that small area probably won't kill it he said only take the shot if your confident but I think everyone is confident in their shooting or they wouldn't be hunting so I disagree with what the tv show was saying and feel like it will send someone in the woods taking a bad shot because a tv show said too
It is so true, after reading all of these threads I have realized through others pain that I need to take a good, ethical, and practical well placed shot on a deer and not shoot unless a perfect shot.
