Default RE: Do you shoot at running deer? check out this video

I shoot at runing deer with my shotgun and my rifle(within reason). I've killed two running deer lately (one each of the past two Saturdays). No problems at all they were graveyard dead before they hit the ground similiar to the buck in the clip. The trainin the background is not a good risk to take(but I also don't know the distances, camera angle, etc)but other than that, great buck, from what I gather he didn't do anything illegal if hunting near the road is legal and shooting a rifle from the ground is too, so be it, I don't make the laws. From what others have said on here this seems like afarliy common practice in Sask. and insome other states as well. Doesn't sound like the safest practice but I don't hunt there so my opinion is based only on a 2 min clip. He may have sole access to that land and know for a fact thatnoone is beyond his line of fire. He missed a deer with his first shot, I don't see as how that makeshis shooting skills less than adequate as I'm sure there are very few on here that have never missed a deer.The tworunning deer I killed were being run by dogs and I'm sure there are a ton of people who just can't standthat. Oh well, cry about it if you want to.
