Default RE: Whats the deal? Quartering to shots

I think many of you are seriously full of it if you say you wouldn't shoot one... I don't think most have the patience to stare at a point blank buck and say "hes not broadside, ill let him pass".
Maybe some are Derek, but I'm not one of them that's full of It. Trust me, no one knows patience better then a person hunting with a traditional bow. 8 years or so ago I let a 150" to 160" 10 point walk at 25 to 30 yards broadside, to far for my recurve. Patience let that buck live another day without me possibly wounding him. I'd do the same thing again. He was just out of range barely, Iffy shot at best. If It's not a high percentage shot, I'm not taking It. I've wounded one animal In 23 years of bowhunting, high percentage shots are the reason that number Is low.
