Seems like you northern boys just dont like passing up a shot. Us southerners will pass. Why is that ? If I see a big buck that is quartering away hard, I wont take that shot, I just shrug it off and hope to see him another day. But you guys up north will take that shot and hope for the best.

First off, where do you hunt. Here it is: IF YOU HUNT WITH A RIFLE ANY SHOT WILL KILL THAT DEER AS LONG AS IT PASSES THROUGH THE VITALS, which with a rifle you're bullet is gonna reem that deer all the way through, and don't say it won't cause I've seen it happen in a million cases. My budd's dad shot a mulie at 425 right up the butt all the way through the fron and dropped him on the spot. A shotgun is another story. With my ML i'll take nearly any shot. Not nescessarily right up the pooper, but i've done it before and never lossed a deer on it. The only time i've lost a deer was with a bow.
