good decision based on the fact that the moment any doubt enters your mind something in your performance of the shot will suffer (conciously or subconciously). Be committed 110% or don' t shoot!!

Thanks for all of your advice. When I had the opportunity it was almost dark like 8:30 and it gets black at 8:45 so thats another reason why i passed him up. But i think i did the right decision, if i could have seen the future i may have changed my decision but i can' t and i did the right thing in my opinon and in many of yours. Thanks and safe hunting

Absolutely not! I congratulate you for not taking the shot. As has been mentioned, that is a low percentage shot. I mean really low percentage, c903 aside, that is one of the shots that is taught to be low percentage and unethical. c903 sounds like he really knows what he is doing and had a perfect set-up for him. Looking at the deers anatomy you can see that it is possible to miss all of the vitals in which case some rifle hunter finds the deer dead of gangrine and tells all of his buddies about the lousy archery hunters leaving deer to die because archery is an inferior method of harvesting deer. I am glad you passed.
