RE: Was this a bad shot?
This can be debated until we turn blue but the fact is your not going to change someones mind with an argument. The decisions we make when we hunt or anything else is from what we have been taught and have learned as we go through life. Some people never learn whats right and wrong and don't care to learn. We will always have people on both sides of every issue and they have a right to their opinion no matter how STUPID andHARD HEADEDthey are. Good day.

Justin took care of one of the jackasses. I got to give it to him for that. I'm sure his buddies won't be far behind him.

RE: Was this a bad shot?
ORIGINAL: Rich Baker I have done it!!! Am I a moron I don't think so. I was 13 and it was the second deer I shot at. I never found it. A nice 8 point buck to. My Dad kicked my butt and wouldn't let me bow hunt for the rest of the season. and he made me look for that deer every day he went hunting. FYI I never took a shot like that again and after 40 + kills under my belt from deer to moose thats the only animal I ever lost. Im in my 40's now and I would never even think about a shot like that. |
RE: Was this a bad shot?
Having a Dad to TEACH you the right things is such a blessing, isn't it? I'd be in jail or dead if it wasn't for my father. My grandfather was my teacher in hunting/fishing though...but it's just the fact that if you are taught properly when young, you grow into a responsible outdoorsman...if you aren't taught, chances are you will end up a little twisted in your viewpoints/actions.
P.S.: I have to say, that a LOT of that "teaching" that I had when young, seemed like it SUCKED at the time. :D |
RE: Was this a bad shot?
I think if this was a true shot? First of all you should have a broadhead, and 2nd it was prob just a miss placed shot that happened to hit it in the head. Ive shot one deer dead in the spine in all my bow kills, and i wasn't aiming for the spine. On a personal note, i think i would rather be shot in the head than in the liver!?!?

RE: Was this a bad shot?
You are searching for opinions evidently by your question if it was a
bad shot. But by the responses I have read that you have posted you actually were not looking for honest opinions from your fellow hunters. You were fishing for compliments because "you" thought this was an awesome shot. If this was not a doctored photo then thank goodness the deer is down. Too many things can go wrong with aiming for a head shot and in my opinion you got lucky this time. Just a little left or right, up or down, and you would have an injured animal. Do the right thing next time and take them where you know the best shot is. If I was in need of the meat to feed my family, I would have to take a higher percentage shot to ensure the harvest. So my opinion of the shot would be, yes you made a good shot..........but.......you made a poor choice in "shot selection." |
RE: Was this a bad shot?
Well,fer starters that looks like a doe,or it could have little buttons up on top!secondly,i just wanna say,if i saw a high racked buck coming torwards me,i'd aim right between the antlers!
 that is if i was in a stand.because,it seems to me that a head shot is a better shot to make than shoooting at the spine! |
RE: Was this a bad shot?
Why do you guys fall into this kind of crap? That post wasn't even worthy of a response! Let's act like adults, OK?
