Hmmmmmmmmmmmm, Not sure if I agree with this one. If you are taking a low percentage shot just because it may be the only shot you get that year then in my mind YOU DON' T HAVE A SHOT. It may be tough to restrain yourself from a heat of the moment decision but we all owe it to deer to make a clean kill. I know my response may seem invalid since I hunt private land but even this year I passed up the opprotunity for an upper neck/head shot at a nice 8pt. I got lucky, he eventually walked out and presented a broadside shot which I took and folded him on the spot.

In my mind this does not make me holier than thou and I am not attempting to say that I am the most ethical/proper hunter and that things are always black and white. This is simply the way I hunt.
