bigcountry I passed on ........ maybe 20-25 shots on bucks this year. Probably 3-4 were P&Y, the biggest being maybe 160". I passed shots from 2 yards from the base of my tree out to where ever I could have shot. Lots of 10 yard shots I passed. I finally took 1 shot - a can't frickin miss 22 yard absolute gorgeous broadside shot - and I hit the deer high.

Compare to a guy I know that shoots a fast walking buck quartered to him at 20 yards in the brush - he thought he could sqeeze and arrow through, and liver/gut shot the deer on a deflected shot.

Which was the better shot ? Mine was - which led to a dead deer ? His


Which leads me back full circle ........ are there REALLY good shots and are there really BAD shots ? Or are there just shots that end one way or the other ?

Its apparent to me bigcountrythat you don't really KNOW what you beieve. You think you do, you post that you do, but when challenges to explain WHY you believe what you do ? You dance around it and bow out of the thread by tossing around afew light heared jabs.

I LIKE to think WHY ........ I'm not content with just believing something for the giggles of it. Sorry you don't get that ......
