You didn't find it necessary to keep your lack of ethics to yourself.


If you are gonna post crap like shooting a deer in the neck with a bow on purpose then you have to accept the fact that it might not be greeted with smiles by all.


Famous last words............what exactly were you aiming at??? You can't tell anyone here that you are so certain of your ability that you can smack a neck artery on a live animal every time.........your only other choice is the spine and that is a gamble at best. You are first guessing that you know EXACTLY where the spine is (about a 2" target assuming you even guess right on) then you can never be sure your shot won't glance off the spine or the deer won't flinch even an inch.

You aimed at the center of her neck and hoped for the best...........as it turns out you killed her...........well you know what?? I can steer a car with my feet........but it doesn't make it a good freakin' idea!!

Your margin for error is little to none and your downside is tremendous. You would be hard pressed to find even one reputable source in print that would recommend a neck shot to bowhunters.


What's next???.............stories of "aiming" at the femoral artery or maybe a Texas heart shot??

[:'(]


BTW...........I shoot the eyes of my McKenzie targets when I get bored.............should I shoot the next deer I see in the eye because I "know" I can do it??

atlasman

The death of the deer doesn't make the shot a good one.

What if his story was that the deer was injured and unrecovered??..........would you think it was a good shot then?

Jesus H. Christ man! Leave your arguementative attitude out of this forum!
This one is suppose to be fun.

Shooting a deer in the neck with an arrow is fun??

Don't waste your time replying Bowfanatic. It's not worth your effort or mine... Good luck to you this season.

I won't start getting worried until it's the end of November and there aren't any buck onthe board. As the weather cools and the leave start dropping the deer will start to fall. Trust me

atlasman

Translation..........you know what you did was wrong and did it anyways. Your reasons may be sound (confidence in your skills) and your results may be positive (kill) but in the end it is nothing more then a gamble.................a gamble with a horrific down side.

Like I have already stated.........you won't even find a single reputable source to recommend a neck shot with a bow. That should tell you something.

Save your neck shots for gun season [:'(]

atlasman & jersey joe, this is not the forum to be discussing ethics, either move it to the Hunting Politics forum or via Private Message if you cannot follow the guidelines of the Forum Posting Rules....thank you for your cooperation....
