RE: what do u think of spine shots
 

No I have met a few that actually go for the spine. Because it puts them down right on the spot. Most I have seen do it from a stand when a deer is right under them. They for between the shoulder blades and puts the deer down right where you shot it.

The only problem is you have to put another arrow in it or climb down and finnish it off with a knife.

Like the others have said, it's effective, just hard to stomach if you have any compassion.

There have already been 7 people vote yes on it. Most that say they would have not done it yet though.

My feelings exactly.

RE: what do u think of spine shots
 

Although I have never shot a deer in the spine, I have seen a couple that have been and I just couldn't take it watching them suffer. Mistakes happen but I would never intentionally shoot one in the spine.

Would you want to lay there suffering and not be able to move or receive a quick death? I feel we owe it to the animal to kill it quickly and cleanly.

No not on purpose.
IF YOURE CLOSE ENOUGH TO SHOOT IT IN THE SPINE THEN YOURE CLOSE ENOUGH TO SHOOT IT IN THE LUNGS.

I voted no, But I killed an 8pt once from a spine shot, he was right underneath my stand and moved after a doe when thearrow was released. But I would never aim for the spine.

i don't believe it's ethical to go for for a spine shot but accidents do happen. if i wanted a spine or neck shot i'ld use my 06.

No I don't like it nor condone it with an arrow.I did it once unintentionally and it was the least pleasant expiration of a deer I have ever witnessed.
