For me, it would be stupid, as well as unethical, to shoot at a deer 60 yards away.All of my shots are inshooting lanes in big woods close to thicketand pine lines. A few field stands, but again, right on the woodline. Hitting the anamil at 60 would be one thing, but tracking it would be quite another. It wouldbe tough to pick up the blood trail 60, 80, or 100 yards away. To me, an ethical shot is a recoverable animal.
