It's really thick were he was and I could just see his antlers and some of his neck. My dad said he would've tried the neck shot. I didn't feel comfortable trying a shot like that though. Instead I just waited and hoped he would walk in the open ut never happened. If I see another ig deer like this should I try the shot? Or be patient?
If you try to shoot through thick brush, the bullet might go any where.
It was a Verry Wise Choice, not to shoot.
He will be in the open soon enaugh.
A bad shot on a buck that size, and to loose him on a bad shot, will haunt you the rest of your life.
