Default RE: Was this a bad shot?

I also think that is a terrible shot to take, and I personally wouldn't take it a doe or buck of ANY size. But what troubled me more than the pic, was the guy bragging about shooting 80yds at a running deer. Would be pretty hard to be SURE of where your slug was going to stop. People die when others get careless with guns. Unless the deer was running along the base of a highwall, I wouldn't shoot 80yds at a runner even if it was a world record buck...or maybe ESPECIALLY if it was. One of my kids (12), wants to deer hunt during shotgun season this year...stories like that are what terrify me.
