Doug,Ethics Police? You have got to be kidding. If ever there was a post where someone needs to question someones ethics this is it.
Go back and read the post.Here I'll make it easy for you.
<BLOCKQUOTE id=quote<font size=1 face='Verdana, Arial, Helvetica' id=quote>quote:<hr height=1 noshade id=quote>He started under my stand and I put my pin on his spine, just before and/or at the rump. <hr height=1 noshade id=quote></BLOCKQUOTE id=quote></font id=quote><font face='Verdana, Arial, Helvetica' size=2 id=quote>

He knowingly took a shot at the spine toward the rump.Maybe you know of some kill zone back there.

I've helped people look for an animal for over two days,when they made a shot where something went wrong.Nothing went wrong here except he missed the spine. Ecxitement BS!! He meant to hit the animal back out of the kill zone.There is a BIG difference between making a bad hit and intentionally shooting an animal where your chance for a clean kill are Zero.Even if he hit the animal back in the spine it wouldn't have killed it.At best it would have maimed the buck and another arrow would be needed, don't you think.

Like I said before I have helped track many badly hit deer in the past.Giving up my own time in the woods to help someone out.People make mistakes and bad hits happen,but this story stinks.If someone called me and told me this story I wouldn't help them try and find it.

Is this your idea of a shot that should ever be taken? Have you ever taken a shot when you know it doesn't have a snowflakes chance in a very hot place of being lethal?

What is the best case scenario with this shot? A crippled deer under your stand dragging itself around with it's front legs is all I can picture.What about you?

Ethics police my butt.
