Shooting at skylighted stuff...
You don't know the situation. In some cases it is perfectly fine to shoot animals like that... If you know your surroundings...
Granted... Probably not in New Jersey where the Hunter/acre is probably greater than deer/acre but not everyone hunts there.
I disagree. Your shooting upward towards an animal without truely knowing the background. If you miss or the bullet passes through it could go a long ways before returning to the earth.
You could be in Montana on a 40,000 acre ranch and it just so happens that just that one day the rancher decides to ride out and take a look at the land. He spots the same buck and is just watching.
It's just very unsafe.
