OkLarry WeishunI mean Paul. We get your point. If you can live with yourself and the fact that you can shoot a deer and stand there and watch it suffer for 1, 2,or5 minutes when you could put another shot in it thats fine. Maybe thats never happened to you and I hope it never does. All that is being said is if you shoot a deer, even if the shot was perfectly placed, and the deer gives you another shot to put it out of its misery then some of us take it. It has nothing to do with shot placement orOne shot one kill... It has everything to do with the "Right" thing to do. Personally and like I mentioned earlier most of the deer I shoot run after the shot (I like a double lung or heart shot vs. a shoulder shot) so I don't always get that second one. But if they give it to me I take it. I'm a big bow hunter as well and I hope to get my 75th bow harvest this year. I know all about shot placement and how important it is. Even with my bow I will shoot them twice if they give it to me. I've shot several deer over the years that only went a couple of yards with a perfectly placed arrow. I could see the blood pumping out of them perfectly behind the shoulder...yet I did the "RIGHT" thing and put another one in them b/c I could and it would make them go out quicker.

Btw I like a double lung or heart shot due to the fact if you hit a deer with a .270 like caliber in that shoulderbone just right it could riquochet or not get enough penetration, which happened to me, and in turn you could have a lengthy blood trail.All you head shot guys should be ashamed for admitting that. A guy in the club across the road bragged about his shooting skills till one day my dad finished off a doe that came by his stand thatthe guy across the roadhad blown the lower jaw off of trying to head shot it @ 50yds. A 2" miss on a head shot means a wounded deer. A 2" miss behind the shoulder means a dead deer guaranteed anyway you look at it.
