Back in the day (of stupidity) I would say YES it works. straight to the head or neck..... Dont do it... i know it doesnt matter to you at all but its 100% better to do it legal.... I am an ex road hunter/poacher EX I say yes when i was a teenager i did it and did it alot... i got caught and i payed for it.... im strictly by the book now.... ( well i did shoot a coyote from the road but hey there are exceptions) and i had written permission to hunt both sides of the road although that is still not legal.(im sorry) It is much more satisfying to sit in a stand and enjoy nature.... DONT DO IT!!!!
