RE: Still think Head Shots are a good choice???
This happened a few years ago near me. My uncle was spotting and saw a MONSTER with an arrow sticking out of its head. Lord only knows when it happened, but maybe he got the arrow in the headand in turnmade him a monster. Regardless, it's a poor shot and I wouldn't take it, but thinkin back when I first started bowhunting, or gunhunting for that matter,and the excitement I had......I may have taken a head shot if its all I had. I can't really say that the shot was a matter of ethics or maybe it was, but we've all had that buck or deernear us when we first started hunting and have taken a poor shot that we may not take today. Anybody who says they haven't and havesome experience under their belt has either been extremely lucky orisn't being completely honest with themselves. What it comes down to it is that you learn. Lets admit it, we weren't Chuck Adams starting out and and we've all made bad choices. What bothers me is the fact that there are people here wanting to hide this type of thing from the site. It's hunting, poor shot or not, it's hunting.The fact that there are others willing or wanting to hide what can and does happen while doing it is whats going to bring this sport to and end and let PETA have their say. Stop trying to hide the bad hunts and put them out there more so people can realize and not do the same thing. Anyone who has been here during a bow season knows the amount of "perfect double lung" shots that get away....a head shot is no different than making a poor body shot. Lets start being real with ourselves.
