Overall I would say no but then again if it was only a very slight quartering angle I probably would take the shot.

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

With a BOW.. I would NOT....
Bowhunter need to be ethical hunters and be patient. 9 times out of 10 you will be offered the shot your looking for anyway. Or make a sound and deer will turn and give you that slight time window you need to take your Ethical shot...

reguardless how close i would sooner pass on this shot because if i made bad judgement or even worse a bad shot i would be able to live with myself knowing i did this and lost the animal
