Default RE: Since when did shooting a deer in the neck become an acceptable shot?

You didn't miss anything Justin. These idiots making film forget they might be making an impression on the unschooled. We teach ethical, good, reponsible shots selection in hunter safety and Bowhunter Ed until we're blue in the face. It's all undone by one ill advised shot from one of these "EXPERTS". You would think they'd act responsible and just not publish it, but nope, in their effort to prove what great white hunters they are they print anything. Sometime they work and a lot of times they don't. We NEVER see the ones that got away. They never show us taking a bad shot will more often than not lead to a long chase and usually a lost animal. If they take the shot 3 times and get one down on film, well heck... "Let's print that one".[:'(] And in their efforts to be PC and have every other show a kid show or a woman show... well I tell you, I've seen some bizzarre stuff. I remember one(this gal that's now a TV hunt show host with her husband. She tried about 4 times to pull the bow back and someone helped her pull it back to make the shot. What in the heck is up with that. Some of these people have to go through more contortions just to come to full draw. Good thing they're hunting tame, penned or nearly domestic stock over feeders as the deer in my woods wouldn't sit still for such folly. OK, I've had enough. You didn't miss a thing Justin. They're just whackos.
