Default RE: How do you hit a running deer?

You guys be careful on your soapboxs telling us about it being wrong to shoota moving animal(deer, bird rabbit all the same), theres a lot of folks on boxs right behind you saying its unethical toshoot them at all.
We are talking abour DEER and no they are not the sameas rabbits or Birds.The animals you mention above are shot with Buck shot. To my knowledge it is illegal at least in WV to shoot a deer with Buck shot.

I guess I have trouble figuring out why anyone would take a running shot? Why not wait until a better shot is presented or wait on another deer? Why chance it? Is it worth the chance of blowing off it's jaw and letting it starve to death?
