I just assume wait for a good shot. My stats prove it to me(yes I keep track). I have in the past, and will in the futur take a chance. Just the way I am[8D]

46 whitetails killed

43-43 broadside or qrt away
2-3 straight down, lost a doe 10 years ago.
1-3 qrt towards, I tried this shot 4 times now and only recovered one. Which was last year and the deer in my Avitar. There was no "in the heat" shot. I know what I was doing and pulled the trigger. I watched him go down, I got lucky. I will say the deer I lost was because I rushed the track. I have learned to sit in the tree unless i see he deer go down. This shot were an issue, but it was my tracking caused the lost of an animal.
