RE: You Call The Shots
I would definitely wait for a better shot than that. No sense wounding him and possibly wounding or killing someone on the other side. He isn't spooked and looks like he is headed your way.. put the glasses on him and just wait it out... you never know if there is one a bit larger behind him anyway!

Id wait and see if he does chase the doe's over the hill and mroe then likely if they come over he will too as long as he doesnt see me or smell me so i would wait for a better shot to present its self.

This is a no brainer for me. No shot presented, so no shot taken. Taking this shot is not only low percentage, but it is very dangerous. IMO, it would be irresponsible to shoot. Besides, this is a definate wall hanger, I would never even consider putting a slug in the head or neck area and damage the mount.

Behind the target is hard to conffirm and that wind could be enough to cause me to shoot him in the jaw. If the wind were consistent, I might take the head shot, but only if I was sure what was beyond.
