Default You Call The Shots V

Weapon:.357 Handgunw/ Scope
Range:55 yards
Conditionsawn;Windy
Winds: Windheavy from your back
The Scoop: This guy just got done feeding and is heading through a funnel to get to his bedding area. The wind is blowing at him, but he hasn't sensed your presence yet. You've practice and zeroed in at 50 yards. The trigger is cocked, are you ready?

That's a light cartridge for that setup and range, IMHO, so I probably wouldn't take it. No confidence equals no shooting.

Too small of a picture to really see anything. It's dark in the background. What's in those dark woods? If I knew for certain it was clear behing him I would take him.

That dog just don't wanna hunt. A .357 would not be enough power at that distance. I should know, I carry a .357 every gun season. I would have to pass.

There's a high school just beyond the woods.

these questions are so pointless.. who wouldnt shoot at a deer like that from 55 yards.. if you practice at 50 and you're good why would u pass it up..? I got an idea for the next 'you call the shots'..WORLD RECORD BUCK, A SPREAD ATLEAST 3 FEET WIDESTANDS BROADSIDE ATTEN YARDS YOU HAVE A ROCKET LAUNCHER, THE DEERS NOSE DOESNT WORK SOHE CANT SMELL YOU, AND HES BLIND.. BUT YOU ARE HUNGRY. DO YOU TAKE THE SHOT OR GO FOR LUNCH??

I'd take it. The wind is in your favor and the scope is zeroed at 50yds.
