The straight away shot is the one I'd probably always avoid. Target is pretty much base of the tail not taking that one.Broadside hind qtr I'm not thinking twice he bout to die.

Why not? I take neck shots at that distance and the target is about the same, or bigger.

Not a choice for me, no way to be sure of what deer you're shooting.

Killed a few that way, one wasn't stopping, he piled up on bullet impact

I've killed several runners with my 7mm STW, actually never missed a runner with that gun

great question. If given the opportunity before reading this post i probably would have passed. Now that i have read this discussion, i'm probably going to think hard about taking it and not taking it and get caught in a mental delimma. while i'm at war in my head he will run off before i squeazed the trigger and I would be kicking myself in the balls for not shooting sooner. with a bow? that will be a big NO!

I've passed on deer because I didn't like the shot I had and I've shot at deer that I shouldn't have. Just being honest. This scenario, to answer honestly, I just don't know ridgestalker. It would just have to happen to see if I shot or not.

What kind of season I'd been having may have an influence on that decision as well.
