I voted yes, but there are several variables that would determine whether I'd shoot or not. Obviously theseverity of the angle is the biggest factor, but if it were a slight quartering to angle I'd take the shot.Hard quartering to I'd pass. Also, it depends on the distance as well. If the deer were standing out past 25 yards and slightly quartering to I'd pass and wait to see if he presented me with a better shot angle.Inside 25 yards and slight quartering to, I'm shooting.JMO
I never have......but I'm not saying I wouldn't.....if the situation were right. I'm being honest.

Sometimes you just have to go with the info given. I voted no. If it said "slightly quartering to" I may have voted yes. -But it doesn't. -Then again, I'd proably consider a very slightly quartering to shot a broadside any.

I also like Germ's answer. We've both read a book by Joe Brooks in which Joe emphasizes the vitals area on a MATURE deer being about the size of a basketball. he says you have to be able to put your arrow in/through that area.

Period.

There are SO MANY variables.......but the bottom line is.....can I put my arrow into that area? If yes???? I'm sending my arrow.

I wouldn't take a shot through the brisket.....but if you've done it successfully.....and would do it again........have at it.

Nope, I'd pass, sooner of later the critter will offer a better shot or walk off.....plenty of deer out there...

I'm not that good yet that I would take such a low percentage shot, we have so many deer here on average that it just isn't worth the risk anyway.

Maybe, but probably not. Lots of factors go in.

I voted yes but just like everything else ...... it depends.

With my bow and arrow combination I would take a quartering to shot through the shoulder any time it was offered from a deer. If I were using a recurve obviously not. I wouldn't allow my son, daughter, or wife to take that shot because they are shooting lighter set ups.

If I were hunting elk, moose, bison, etc...I wouldn't take that shot.

most likely not...but were i hunt (not in a tree) it would be easier to track if a bad shot and most likely would not be a lost deer (just in case a bad shot would happen)...if he were a monster i would really consider, but the distand away would be my real factor....a smaller deer probably 100% pass..
