Deerslayer,
You sir are the slob. Not the "slob" bucks/doe you say your harvesting. To intentionally shoot a deer in the hind quarters is completely unethical. I don't care if it's a record class buck or a yearling. That's just completely unresponsible. A shot at a running deer at 260 yards?? [:@] [:@] Once again, I don't care if you have 20+ years of marksman military training to backup that sort of shot. That's unresponsible!!!!
If had a record class buck that would only give me an ass shot, im going to take that shot where you think its ethical or not. "oh gee, this world record class buck walked by but i didnt have a shot at his lungs or heart so i let him keep strolling down the path to go frolick happily with his friends." And dont say you wouldnt take that shot either. I aim for the heart and/or lungs everytime i shoot a deer. But if thats a slob buck and i dont have a front quarters shot, im taking out his rear vitals. A deer can't move with a busted up pelvis and blood spewing all over internally.
So your tellin me and everyone else on this board that you don't have the patience that it takes for the buck to move 1-2 feet out from behind a tree to give you a GOOD shot? Please keep this junk off the board.
