RE: Big Minnesota Buck
You look at that arrow and imagine its' path all the way through that deer. I don't know if this guy's setup warrants the shot....but the shot PLACEMENT (which is what the thread header referenced) wasn't suspect to me, at all.
If that was a short shot.....I'd take it in a heartbeat (with my setup). It's 100% lethal.

MANY would say that this shot was "poor" or uncalle for....but the angle and the proximity of the deer warranted the placement.
Look familiar?
In this case....the exit wound was on the front brisket. She went about 100yds, amazingly....and I'm guessing the buck pictured above was dead in seconds.

While he got ONE lung here (that's all he could have gotten), he had no exit/blood trail, which I would not call "perfect". That deer was all but going straight away.Deadly? Yes. Ideal? Not close. JMHO

EI....you're leaving out a few things.....like the possibility (distinct) of taking out the heart and/or liver, as well.
The shot I depict above wasnn't straight away....or I wouldn't have taken it. it was an (admittedly) hard quartering-away shot from 9 yds.
