Default RE: Mercy Killing.....would you????

ORIGINAL: OHbowhntr
I ranged him at 38yds, and put my 40pin on his heart, and stuck him to the ground. I really thought about not shooting him, but he just didn't look like he was gonna get out of the woods.

I think the meat should be ok, except for about 1/3 of a backstrap the BH destroyed on the entry. But when you're 45' or so above something shooting 38yds, something's gotta give picking that spot.
I'm not saying anything negative here but this picture doesn't look like you were 45 feet in the tree. And even if you were, why were you? Good Lord!!! I have to ask too... If you were aiming for the heart but managed to destroy part of the backstrap, where did you actually hit him internally then?
