WGP, I am a little bit confused as to what exactly you are looking for here?

Do you mean to tell me that the small kill area that a neck shot provides is not a valid point in discussing that particular shot?

Why would you wantto compare food plots with neck shots? Allow me to state that I don`t hunt over food plots. I have no problem with them though. In fact, I understand that it has been common hunting practicefor decades in many parts of the country.

There is, at least in my mind, a substantial difference between trying to hunt over crops planted for the purpose of attracting wildlife, and the actual act of taking said wildlife.

I`ll make a deal with you.......you take all the neck shots with a bow that you want to, I won`t say a word to you.

You don`t try to ever compare your hunting knowledge, knowledge of a deers anatomy with me. And don`t call me to help chase your animal.

What the heck food plots have to do with ethics is beyond me.

I hunt primarily out of treestands for whitetails. Is that unethical? I mean, I am hiding in a tree, well over their head. Is that fair?

What if I use rattling horns? A grunt call? A doe in heat bleat can? Camo? Compound bow?


WGP says...

Why is it less ethical to take a neck shot than it is to artificaly draw deer to a given area so we lazy hunters can score better?


You are joking, right?

Simply drawing a deer in, is not the same as attempting to take its life. With a shot that EVERY seasoned bowhunter realizes is a much lower percentage shot than is a double lung shot.

If it sounds like I am hollering here, I am not. I look forward to hearing your rational reply.

Forgive me if I am somehow missing the connection between the two.
