RE: Guess I am too old fashioned and an elitist
ORIGINAL: Cougar Mag The following was taken from another site. I'll keep my opinion to myself at least for now, other than saying does it really matter if its a monster buck or not, but I could not honestly believe some of the replies. Guess I am an elitist and too old school when it comes to bowhunting?:( If you had a monster buck sited at 100 yards with no wind standing broadside and completely relaxed and didn't think you could get closer for whatever reason, would you take the shot? |

I can hit a soda can at 100 yards every once in a while.[8D]

RE: Guess I am too old fashioned and an elitist
So are the same ones who might take that shot at a monster buck willing to take that shot at a doe or lessor in stature buck?

RE: Guess I am too old fashioned and an elitist
That one is a no brainer, take the shot and you are crazy. Alot can happen during the flight at 100 yrds I dont care if you can hit nickels at 100 yrds, one half step either way = bad shot. Bad Idea.

RE: Guess I am too old fashioned and an elitist
I can't speak for anyone else but my abilities wouldn't allow for a shot like that.
Like someone else said, the size of the antlers doesn't increase my effective range. Seems pretty irresponsible. |
RE: Guess I am too old fashioned and an elitist
When talking Coues hunting with some Westerners....I was told to just stay home if I wasn't prepared to shoot 80-100 yard shots, since any closer simply isn't realistic. Those deer are TINY and jittery, a 100 yard shot is a shoot and wish situation. I won't stay home, but I won't be shooting at those distances either. I don't have to take home a critter to have a successful hunt.
