What does shooting a deer with a bow prove ?
That you can get a whitetail within 20 yards from you and hit it in a "vital" organ. If people are worried about waisting that tasty rib meat with a lung shot you should take up bowhunting. You don't have to worry about wasting any meat.
So if I shoot a deer in the neck I am trying to prove something?
Why do you have to prove you can get wthin 20 yds and hit it with an arrow.
By the way I am a bowhunter too. I dont hunt with a bow to prove anything, I hunt with it because it gives me an extra month to hunt.
With a rifle I shoot'em in the neck beause... it's the most humane and quickest kill, theres no stress on the deer which makes the meat better, there is no tracking, theres no meat loss.
