If you have to ask if that is a good shot than you need a lesson in ethical hunting.
If someone did shoot it in a hunting situation they need to have their hunting rights taken away for life.

That's ethical of you to be so forthcoming. But I think most hunters won't take a shot at a running deer (At 80 yards no less)....no matter how badly they need meat. It's not like you're in a life and death situation.....there's meat in the grocery stores. Just my $0.02.

RE: Was this a bad shot?
I know a lot of you would take that shot. I def would take that shot if it was the only shot i had. And for some people the meat they get during hunting season is the ONLY mean they can afford. And we both know that if it was a world record deer and that was the only shot you had you too would take the shot. So its not unethical their is NO waste of meat and im sure the animal did not suffer at all. So before you go posting about Ethics his and ethics that i know all of us would and have broken the rules of beinh an ethical hunter. If you say no then your just flat out lying. Seems like a lot of people on this post like to type what they want other to hear. Well im telling you right now i would shot a deer in the head and gun, bow whatever if it was the only shot i had!

Was this a bad shot? Assuming it was shot hunting from a treestand, of course it was a bad choice to shoot while it was approaching. You should have waited until it passed and/or turned to give you a better angle to the vitals. I'm surprised the arrow penetrated the head. I wonder if it would have had the deer been an adult. In that it is just a fawn maybe the skull isn't so dense.

You do that tough guy. This is a bow hunters forum made up of hundreds of ethical men who would never take that shot. I'm sure there is a Jackass forum somewhere on the web you and A D D Boy could make yourselve's at home on. If you need the meat that bad try getting a damn job.

Ok Mohonk or whatever you call yourself. I bet this place is made up of ALL ethical hunters. YEAH OKAY! Everyone on here is just afraid to post what they REALLY would doin these situations. And YEAH ill take whatever shot i want to whenever i want to, so worry about yourself and dont speak for others. You probaly couldnt hit that shot anyway if you tried with a gun or bow, Rookie hunter.
