RE: Was this a bad shot?
I'm suprised this thread wasn't deleted after the first post. It's an unethical bowshot (even if it's a staged shot, that arrows 40+" long) and has turned into a flame war. Can we get a lock and delete please?

RE: Was this a bad shot?
I also think that is a terrible shot to take, and I personally wouldn't take it a doe or buck of ANY size. But what troubled me more than the pic, was the guy bragging about shooting 80yds at a running deer. Would be pretty hard to be SURE of where your slug was going to stop. People die when others get careless with guns. Unless the deer was running along the base of a highwall, I wouldn't shoot 80yds at a runner even if it was a world record buck...or maybe ESPECIALLY if it was. One of my kids (12), wants to deer hunt during shotgun season this year...stories like that are what terrify me.

Anyway, I'm not sure how you came to the conclusion that a field point was used in the picture since the tip of the arrow looks to be imbedded in the deer.

But, this pic is a fake anyway so it makes little difference to debate over whether it is a filed point or not. Take a look at the arrow - see any brain matter or muscle tissue or skull fragments? When's the last time you shot an arrow that was nearly 4' long?

IMO some people here need to go back to the Bow Hunter Education Courses and pay attention.

the pic of that poor dog is more disturbing than anything else on this thread. The creep that shot that pooch deserves the same fate. I have absolutely no tolerance for people that abuse pets.

They teach you a skull shot is a clean killing shot with a bow where you're from?
Most of the information here is pretty good.

This is a hunting fourm for discussion, everyone needs to lighten up and not personally attack anyone, includingHandB274234... I've been hunting with him, unlike anyone else in here. So none of you should even bad mouth him before really knowing anything about him. He is probably more deticated to the sport then 99% of the people in here. He's taken more then a few deer legally and "Ethically" and has a great knowlege on the sport. I'm not going to go on and on about he and I because its a waste of time to all of you closed minded hunters that seem to think you are better then someone because you only take a quartering away shot at 25 yards. We all have a right to be in the woods just respect that.
