Taking a shot that you are not absolutely positive is free of obstructions and is going to result in a clean, quick, and humane kill is irresponsible, unethical, and should never be taken in the first place!!! And I did something very, very similar Saturday on a very nice PY buck!!!<img src=icon_smile_shock.gif border=0 align=middle><img src=icon_smile_tongue.gif border=0 align=middle><img src=icon_smile_clown.gif border=0 align=middle> Haven't slept well since and relive the shot several times each day. It's been quite a while since I've wounded a deer and is certainly something I could go the rest of my life without doing and not miss it! Good luck the rest of the season.
