Default RE: Stopping deer

i had the same post up a couple weeks ago...may wanna dig er up. im still torn. i "bahed" at a buck at 20yds..i was already at full draw..anchored..pin centered on his vitals. the second he froze the arrow was gone. 260fps at 20yds..that arrow was there in no time. lighted nock told me the arrow was flying true right where i sent it..then...i watched him drop down a GOOD BIT. enough for me to hit high above the spine and send him away with my arrow...almost 100% sure hes still alive. so now im torn on what to do. alot of guys say stop him and shoot...thats what i did. he didnt look directly at me but did indeed turn semi alert..froze and looked in my general direction..but the arrow was already gone. so i dont know what ill do on my next shot...maybe stop him then wait for him to look the other way or something..i dont know..amazing how fast deers reaction time is. if we had the reaction time of a deer thered be virtually no car accidents i bet!
