RE: shot in the back leg and the deer still dies?
 

Are you that hard up to kill a deer? I guess your deer target must be shot up head to hoove. As far as me making a dumb comment......I'm not the one that promoted shooting a deer in the leg...thats all you skippy.

RE: shot in the back leg and the deer still dies?
 

Yeah I know that, but what I'm saying is look how many of you guys have recovered your animals. And I'm still saying if it's the only shot I've got I'm taking it. By the way I'm not hoping to get lucky. I've seen as many deer killed hit in the hams as I have seen through the lungs. Yeah these are all "accidents" but at the same time I've seen quite a few deer dropped in this instance.

Why ya getting all worked up, do I got you guys' blood flowing yet.

And if I want that deer bad enough yeah.

As far as shot up head to hoof, no. Claiming I'm not a good shot? Let's take it to the range, and find out. I know by all standards everyone's going to say "you're an idiot" well that's fine.

I still believe in the shot if it's the only one you're presented.

RE: shot in the back leg and the deer still dies?
 

I'm not nescessarily that hard up to kill a deer. I've killed my fair share. But if I've got a shooter buck and that's the only shot I've got, my arrows gone. If I'm sitting there and up comes a few does, or some small bucks, I'd let 'em pass anyways (that's a whole different thread) but if it's a shooter, yeah the 75/95 is on it's way.

If it's the only shot presented then wait!!

RE: shot in the back leg and the deer still dies?
 

You're not going to always get the perfect shot no matter how long you wait.

RE: shot in the back leg and the deer still dies?
 

Thats why its called hunting...not gimping.

RE: shot in the back leg and the deer still dies?
 

If you shoot a deer in the ass on purpose you are an idiot. Plain and simple!

RE: shot in the back leg and the deer still dies?
 

you guys keep calling me an idiot but look how many deer already mentioned have been dropped. I've never seen a deer shot in the ass not recovered. Plain and Simple.

Rear-end Shots:
[ul][*]Bow - This is a shot all responsible bow hunters will pass up. The only major target in the rear quarters is the femoral artery, which is smaller than your little finger and extremely well protected by heavy leg and hip bones. Also, the hindquarters have very heavy muscle tissue which, together with the heavy bone structure and viscera, make it a long, questionable journey for an arrow to get up front to the vital organs of even a small deer.
