I had a buck licking the rust off my ladder stand one evening... put the red dot on the crossbow right on his spine. If I missed left or right, it would still catch a lung. Hit his spine dead center (arrow was sticking out perfect perpendicular). He fell into my ladder, took 2 breathes and was done. Had to just about step over him to get out of my stand. I'd take that shot again any time. I don't know why guys think that is so unethical?
