i am sorry, shooting thru the thickest cover at 150 yrds is very ethical in many books now. not, how many ethical hunters would of took that shot? none, so dont place your self as ethical. i doubt only 2 ran off out of the few you shot. everyone can be a crackshot from the way you shoot and ethical standards. what a joke, you a ethical hunter. to funny now goober.

Actually I am a crack shot, 2 have walked off out of 36 deer and it was when I was young. I am quite capable of hitting a moving deer and what I did was the ethical thing to do, but nice try to dish on me. My gun's are dead on target before I go to the woods and I've outshot anyone I have ever shot with, 82nd Airborne days included. I know my limitations and a deer with it's front leg blown off trotting through the woods will get shot everytime it occurs in front of me. Me dispatching a wounded deer, difficult shot or not, is not in the same league with some yokel out there hunting with a borrowed gun shooting 18 inches to the left.

sounds like you are his brother with a trick shot like that. but i guess that shot you took was allright cause the deer was injured allready?how many of your deer ran off in the past? i imagine quite a fwe from your above post.

You nailed it, all but the hat, and add the smell of a hangover with the cig breathe, LOL. His deer that I dispatched is still probably my best shot to date. 150 yards, trotting (trying too anyways), through some seriously thick brush. The guy blew it's front leg off and it was trying to keep up with the deer in front of it, a little basket 4 point.

We found one spike this year. Last year we found an 8 and a 5, but they were most likely killed by that Blue Tongue disease, it really wreaked havoc last year.
I've had to dispatch 3 injuredbucks and 2 does from bad shots in the last 8 years though. I even found one of the original shooters of one and he told me "the gun is 18 inches to the left but I didn't have time to fix it." What a a**hole.[:@]

Now you can sit on your soapbox all day and imagine whatever scenario you want, but you'd just be wrong and stupid instead of just stupid. I strongly suggest you move on because you're a self righteous idiot and I can go at this all day. I am EXTREMELY ethical, it was an extreme shot, and it was a deer in an extreme situation. 1 shot, 1 kill, next....... Now if I come in here next year talking about shooting a deer behind my back using a mirror you can pull your holier than thou schtick.
Oh, and like I said, I have had 2 deer walk away, 36 shot, 34 dead since 1989. I keep a detailed log and there is one thing I hold sacred in life and that is deer hunting. I don't lie about it, embelish it, or disrespect any part of it. By the way, if you're going to retort to this post can you proof read your's a little, the second one was hard to translate, thanks.
