IF it was my only do or lose shot, I'd take it .
Perfect by all means NO. .
I'd bet a good majority of bow hunters would at leat try especialy if he was less then 20 yards .
Good chance he may have had buck fever and aimed for a better shot and was shaking ??
I no I'd be nervous ... Very big buck to kill with a bow ... editted a little
I agree here, I think it's a VERY lethal shot, and if it's all that's presented to me, within 25yds or so, I'm sticking it. Certainly some people may not be confident in this shot, but on a whitetail deer, EVEN THAT BIG BUCK, that shot placement is gonna be almost 100% of the time a quick kill. The only obstacle the arrow really has in on the exit!!! And that shot is going to DESTROY that deer's liver!!! Stick that arrow in there, and it doesn't pass through, as that animal moves and that broadhead bounces around inside the chest cavity, that animal will be DEAD in under 200yds.

Jenna,
I can see why you might not be fond of that shot placement in a way, but that shot is much more deadly than hitting a little high on what one may have "thought" was a perfect broadside shot, especially from that side, as the liver lays more to the right than the left. And "on the record," with whatever set-up you shoot, I'd be confident in that shot placement. Certainly it may be a difficult track job, but again, that's a DEAD DEER in under 200yds IMVHO.
