He was chasing a doe up a hill and it is really hard to lead a deer trotting up or down a hill straight away from you. Most I hit at the base of the skull, or through the neck. If I have something handy to use as a steady rest(Log,Stump, Rock,ect.) 100 yards is nothing to worry about. I don't know what a "sidewalk cowboy" is either, but I bet it is those guys at the range that say they would never shoot at a moving deer. If I never shot at a moving deer, I probably would never bring one home.
In the Podunk Dictionary a " Sidewalk Cowboy" is one who speaks without full kn owledge or comprehension of the situation which hes speaking about. Much like an " Armchair Quarterback" just to clear up any disputes. I tottally agree with you plummer, if youre confident you can make the shot then take it.
