Your in your stand and the biggest buck you have ever seen or shot walks out and you don't have a good shot.......he begins to walk away and his horns are mosterous, the ones that you dream about every time you climb into your stand........the horns of a lifetime, the only shot you got is a straight on walking away shot..........(the shot all the diagrams tell you not to try) at 100 yards. He has almost reached the woodline.........
Would YOU take the shot ? Back ? neck ? butt ? or No ?

Id call, and get him to turn then take the shot but if he didnt Id let him walk, it just wasnt meant to be.

Texas heart shot

spikebuck77

If I was hunting with a rifle I would take the shot. A hundred yards is not that far for an accomplished shooter.A large caliber rifle would easily penetrate deep enough to reach the liver/heart/lungs.

I'd say you have to pass him... Although I would try to make some noise to get him to turn... Probably long before he got to 100 yards...

RugerM77.270

Same here. Do it right or don't do it at all.

I would shoot him in the back of the neck and try and blow out his spinal cord. You can always get a new cape.

first of theyre ANTLERS not HORNS

Ok Rory now your nit pickin, come on man we are all brother with a passion........horns, antlers, bone, calcified mineral, i think you get my point......
My brother in law had this happen to him and he passed on the shot. I was crazy thinking he should have shot, but then I thought maybe I wouldn't take the shot. I would hate to go against everything i was raised not to do and shoot him in the azz you know.........great opinions.
