I have hunted with guys whose word I trust who have taken this shot and swore to never do it again. One was recovered quickly, one was never found, and the one that was recovered quickly, upon further inspection it was determined it was pure luck that the arrow weaseled its way in. I am so against the shot myself that I passed a 20 yard shot on the biggest 6X6 I have ever seen because he was looking straight at me. He turned broadside, but then there were cows in the way and I never did get a shot. Still haunts me, but not nearly as bad as if I would have made a bad shot and never recovered him.
