At 100 yards I can consistently hit the bottom of a drink can and that is all you need to take out a deer's neck.

Experience has show me to take the 1st "best shot" presented to you based upon your abilities and confidence and to not wait on the perfect shot. Is that a ten yard head shot, 20 yard running shot, 50 yard quartering away double lung shot or 100 yard high shoulder/neck shot???? I dont know in you case but in my case all of the above, except the running shot, gets a trigger pulled.

It's better to have waited then to have had a wounded deer down. Plus, it gives you another excuse to head out into the woods.

If it were me in your shoes and I felt I could make the shot, I would not have hesitated. That buck would have dropped in his track for sure. Confidence is everything in this game.

you be asking me how is backstraps tasted :D

If your confident and have a steady rest it should be a dead buck!

Good call that shows that you are an ethical hunter. Respect the game your hunting. Never take a less-than prefect shot.

if you got the skills let him have it.

I think you subconsiouly made your decision on your own. You must have not been 100% sure.
