RE: Passing on a shot.
A rifle will take a deer down at most angles as long as you can see the vitals. Neck shot is good as long as your gun is steady. Butt shot, no way. Oh, Zrex, I'm from texas and there is a reason they call it the "texas heart shot" But man live life and don't take everything personally. Everywhere on this earth you will find people like that. But do not accuse an entire section of the country! Some people in the North, South, West, East, all the combinations in between, will all take a bad shot. Be proud of your roots, don't be stereotypical.
