One would have to be a total boob not to be able to hit a running deer with 00 buckshot. First of all, most these guys using it, already know to keep the shots close. Second, hopefully the deer is going to be hit with multiple pellets to be a fatal shot.
I haven't taken a running shot in a very long time, but if the situation arises and if it's a deer I want and feel at the moment I can do it, I'll do it! Yes, take a running shot.
A human can get pretty adept at doing something if he's done it several times. Many guys take running shots quite often. I'm not one of them. I don't ever profess to be good at it; then again I don't say I'm bad at it either. Just saying. LOL! I'm comfortable letting a running deer go. Usually it's a great lesson to myself, because had I been paying attention more, most likely I could have seen him before he saw me; therefore, he shouldn't have been running anyway.
I do agree running shots should be passed, but that's my call for myself. If someone else wants to do it, then do it without hearing much from me. It's your call, not mine.

I totally agree, it there right to shoot at running deer, BUT to me the 00 buckshot is kinda of an excuse...ya I got 8-9 balls in each shell, and I got 3 shells, so thats 24-27 chances I have to hit a good area. Thats not a "good shooter" to me. Anyone can throw a volley of 00 buckshot and hit a deer at 50 yards or closer. Sorry, just how I feel. To each there own, its not like I am going to change anyones mind, or vice versa.
