Seems like you northern boys just dont like passing up a shot. Us southerners will pass.
Is that why they call shooting a deer up the butt a "Texas heart shot"?

i have kill deer shoting it in the neck with a gun. You can put them down if you hit them in the right spot. But with a bow that is kind of different

I sure hope you don't "shoot another deer for a cape" what will you do with the rest of it?
ORIGINAL: CamoCop

i'll hammer'm in the neck if i don't have a respectable vital shot. i'll just shoot another deer for a cape if i was going to mount the one i shot in the neck. ofcourse i am comfortable with my shooting abilities aswell. with the set up i shoot, i can consistantly put rounds in a 2 inch grouping at 300-350 yards.

Uhh ok. What ever helps you sleep at night. Seems to me you stuck your foot in your mouth, and now you are still trying to pawn it off on us northerners. That's ok, we know the truth.
