I know of a guy who recently took a a doe during archery season. The thing is, he was stalking deer and came across a doe and a buck doing the "wild thing". While the buck was on top, he was able to navigate his arrow into the doe, dropping it instantly. I have huge issues with this. Does anyone else think this is unethical?
I would like to know what your "huge issues" are and why YOU believe this is an "unethical" situation.

Sounds to me like the guy made a great shot, and I have no problem with it at all.

If it was between the legal hunting hours, I see no problem with this at all from an ethical standpoint. Why not take advantage of a distracted deer? That's what you do when you shoot a deer that runs across your area while fleeing another hunter/animal!


However, from the being a formerly single guy, I see a major guy rules/playa-hater violation here. Let the big guy finish at least, then shoot the doe! :D

If it was legal, I see nothing wrong with it! Bedded deer, bedroom deer, it makes no difference! If this is unethical, then what's to say that a long range shot at a standing deer is unethical! The idea is getting close to a deer, and not being detected! Deer hunting IS NOT "wing shooting." Yes, in waterfowl, it is widely considered unsporting to shoot a bird on the water! But, I do not know of anyone who would "flush" a deer to intentionally get a running shot!

Would wait until they were done. Give the big guy a chance to "complete"... C'mon , doesn't it aggravate you guys when you are stopped before "it" happens?
