RE: Was this a bad shot?
I have a hard time believing anyone on this forum needs the meat badly enough to take that shot. If a person can afford a computer, internet access, and bow hunting, I think they can afford a pork chop at Wal-mart. Say what you will, and I am a rookie bowhunter, but that is not a shot i would EVER take. I have hunted for years with a rifle or muzzleloader and again it's not a shot I would take. There is way to much of a chance that the projectile may deflect off the skull. If an animal is coming straight at me, it will have to turn or pass me at some point. I will wait for the shot that is offered at that point. Although I am out to kill, I have enough respect for my prey to not take low percentage shots. I think those that do are more interested in filling an ego than a tag.
