If you were REALLY well practiced at shooting at targets which simulate a running deer (I don' t have even the slightest idea how you could make a target the sixe of a paper diner plate move at the varying speeds and directions a running deer would present!) then you might have a VERY slim chance of dropping a running deer.

I don' t think it' s very ethical to throw lead at a moving deer with the hopes of injuring/slowing him down to the point where you can " finish ' em off). I won' t hunt with guys like that.

I don' t do it, never have, never will and all my boys are taught the same.

If I can' t place a shot EXACTLY where you need to to make a clean, ethical kill then I don' t shoot. Period.

I am a " heart shot" hunter. Single shot slug gun. Drill & kill!

" Throwing lead" isn' t deer hunting, I think they call that trap shooting.
