I'm surprised not more people said that it was wrong to shoot at a running deer, a few people said it, but not as many as I would have thought. Even the most accurate shot in the world is going to eventually fire a shot into the non-vitals of the deer and leave it with an injury that will eventually cause him to suffer and maybe die. It's just not a smart shot and personally I don't think anybody should be taking a shot at a running deer, but to each his own I guess.....
Dear Lord Baby Jesus,
Firstly thank you for this thread.

People wound deer every season and make bad shotson deer that are standing still. Saying to only take a shot you are 100% sure will quickly kill the deer is just talk. It is what we all hope for but not realistic. How many wounded deer threads have you read about this season? Now how many of them were because the deer was running?

I have killed 3 deer this season running with no problem. I don't see it asa non smart or risky shot. However there are many different ways a deer can be running and shooting buckshot within its effective range seems to help. Each situation is different and the shooterneeds to be a good judge of the situation and his ability before just firing away at running deer.
Eventually you'regonna miss Mr. Bad @ss, that's all there is to it, and don't even start with this Jesus crap....
