RE: Head shot with a bow
This is definately not a good thing.......Big buck, small buck, doe, whatever....
I wouldn't even shoot a deer in the head with firearm. It just doesn't seem right to me. An animal with an arrow lodged in it's skull, or its head severly damaged beyond recognition from a rifle bullet just doesn't sit right with me as a hunter.(I guess I could see this happening quite a bit with buckshot, so there I can accept it)
Heart, lungs, and liver.....If I can't hit them clean, I won't shoot.

And that's a whole nother problem. Especially when individuals like yourself seem to look up the people on the shows.
I see big named hunters on tv take iffy shots at deer every day...

Well maybe you have been blessed with some good hunting property and the deer come pretty easy... I on the other hand have to work for mine... So with that being said I will prob take shots that arent text book when a buck of a life time walk under my stand... I can see from your aviator what kind of deer hunting proiperty you have... You need to walk in a public land deer hunters shoes once...
I see big named hunters on tv take iffy shots at deer every day... Hell I just watched Ted Nugent shoot one at ten yards and hit the deer threw the front of the front shoulder quartering away... He was on his hand and knees looking for drops of blood the size of a pin head... That guy takes more F uped shots in a season than I have in my life time...

Even if I'm confidentI could do it, that shot falls under the "just flinging arrows at deer" catagory and shows me you are more interested in what you shoot than taking an ethical shot.[:@]

There arenice bucks on public land in maryland too.
So, before you take the high and mighty road you need to know about the person you are taking it on. The big deer I'm talking about were all on public land and that's why I never saw them again. One walked away and was shot by another hunter less than 200 yds from me.

Then why did you bring their "iffy" shots up?

You say this after you lambast me about how hard it is to shoot deer? You've had it much easier than me if you've shot over 100 deer with a bow. Of course, I wait for ethical shots soI have to pass up a lot more deer.[8D]
