Me??? Not with a bow. I'm just not that good. In the woods where you have to pick your shots to avoid limbs and twigs, I don't see how I'd ever know I was getting a clear shot even if I could hit a running deer. I'm not saying it can't be done... just saying I can't see me doing it.

Not while running. I have shot a couple of bucks that were walking at under 20 yards.

Not a chance I have a lot of dumb friends I used to bowhunt with and I chased one to many deer al night with no luck.

[X(] NO! I tried it the first year I bowhunted. There were 4 deer running about 30 yards away I aimed about 3 feet in front of the first one and almost hit the last one..[&o] Don't do it!!!

And yes I kept my bow 3 feet (about) in front of the first one through the shot.

I've taken 3 deer with my bow that were trotting slowly with my recurve. I double lunged all 3 of them. They were at 17 yards, 18 yards, and 12 yards.

I'm not good enough yet!

RE: Would you shoot?
 
Never. I am not nearly a good enough shot with a bow, athough I am sure a few are. I currently will not take a walking shot either - I would need to practice them again.

Noway half the time I can't even hit them running with a rifle

I have shot enough of them at 30 yards an running that it seems like a cake walk.There is an art to it, takes practice.








No, just kidding, have shot some at very close range 10-15 yards at a steady walk. Never running!

The " Nudge Man " would but I won't , I have shot at some that were walking slowly.
