I don't have a great deal of experience so keep that in mind as you answer my question. In fact, I've only takenone 6 pointer with a bow.

Anyway, the situation is you have a slow foraging buck (or doe for that matter) approaching at less than 1mph but never totally stopping. Do you not think twice and just shoot or do you stop the animal completely? Reason I ask is 'cause in the situation, I'd be afraid of string jump and might just let that arrow fly. My thinking is that if the animal is already slow enough and calm to boot, why give it a reason to put up its natural defenses? In other words, why stop it so that it could ready itself to bolt resulting in possible string jump or worse yet a bad hit?

What would you do and why? I suppose the answers will vary with experience and comfort levels but I'm just interested in what you all have to say. Oh, keep in mind I said 1 mph... that's about the speed of a slow waddling duck.
