RE: was this the right thing to do
Irresponsible, hmmm, that is a tough one for me. If you can' t make the shot, it is, if you can, it isn' t. But everyone who has shot a running deer has to have a first time. I do alot of drives when I hunt back in Wisconsin, and have shot a fair amount of deer on the run. I know the shots I can make, and the ones that I hold off on.
