My question to all of you is......... if you had a 130-135 P&Y buck at 10 yds standing directly facing you and you are in an elevated tree stand 20 ft off the ground and the only shot at this deer was a spine shot would you let an arrow fly?

That is what happened to me last week while hunting in Illinois. I came to full draw and waited for the buck to turn to the left and follow the run he was on. Low and behold when the buck turned he took one jump and he was off and running like he was shot out of a cannon. I did everything I could to stop him with no luck. I just watched him run off. No sooner as he went out of sight he came 2 dogs running down the side hill and crossed the creek on the bucks trail. I had no idea that dogs were running that buck, they never barked once. As the dogs got back on the trail of the buck I couldn't believe what had just happened. I tried for the life of me to figure out where to squeeze a arrow into that buck. I'm sure many would have sent an arrow flying but I thought the shot to be unethical and was waiting for a better shot opportunity. Oh well that never happened but I can live with my decision not to shoot.

For those that are wondering NO I didn't shoot the dogs although the thought crossed my mind.
