I guess it depends on how it happened for me ..... One time I was sitting in my favorite spot watching deer consistantly to my right ...squirrels were everywhere ... the woods were so noisey .... I had heard what I thought was a squirrel to my left ...... I didn't turn around ... something caught my left peripheral vision ... some thing big, and right under me ... I look to see what had to be a 250# 150+" buck, which is big for my area, walk at a steady pace right away, not stopping for anything ... no shot.....

In that case, I woulda much rather a deer duck my slightly high 30 yard shot, causing a clean miss ...
