Spine shots
Over the past few years I have been doing a lot of target shooting and I consider myself a pretty decent shot with a bow. I am, however, pretty new to hunting. Today I was ground hunting for white tail deer (I don't like treestands) and lured an 8 point buck to within 20 yards with a can that sounds like a doe bleating and this stuff that smells like apples. The grass was high and covered the vital area so I decided to take a spine shot. I didn't aim a the neck but rather the portion of the spine right above the vital area. The shot was perfect and the buck dropped like a rock. I ran over and slit it's throat with my knife to ensure the quickest death possible. At first I was proud of myself because I made a difficult shot but then I realized that if I had been off by about two inches I could have dealt a non fatal blow to the poor animal. I don't think I'll ever take another spine shot again-- with a bow, crossbow or even a gun. Anyone have similar experiences?

"I've got a low spot in the back yard of my lakefront home. Do you think introducing hydrilla to the low area would help decrease the moisture?"
"I love catching fish. I lov eit so much......that when I catch mountain trout.....I sometimes release them back......still attached to the hook....so that I can catch them, again. Does anyone else do this?"
I aimed for the apineon a recent shotat a deer. Anyone have similar experiences?
If I asked you which one of these wasn't a troll question......could you tell me???
I'm not calling YOU a troll.....I implied your question was "trollish".
