What would you do?

  1. Shoot the deer as it walks straight away, regardless of shot angle

  2. Use a little "Kentucky Windage" on the 75 yard shot and let it fly.

  3. Let the deer walk and try to recover later.

    I agree with Ben, Rob, Dubbya, ect. I'm putting another arrow in that deer to get more trauma to his system. Hopefully I can get an artery, spine or into the cavity.

    I would shoot if I had the time to range it and take a steady shot. To just pull out an arrow and fling one out there would be a waste of a good arrow.

    I would not take a 75 yard shot at the deer. To hit it well would be a miracle. I'd wait until morning then track it.
