I guess NO ONE on here understood the question. Well, maybe 1 person.
You all seem to think its like a passenger in a car telling a BLINDFOLDED driver where to turn and when to press the gas and brake.
That is not what I meant.
Understand the question.
LETS SAY Im hunting with my friend and we are sitting 1 foot apart. thats 12 inches. Got it?
NOW lets say Im looking for a doe, and he is after a buck.
NOW lets say a buck walks up on MY side of the tree.
My friend has no way of getting a shot.
OK. the part no one seems to get.
I aim at the deer with my gun. IM THE ONE AIMING WITH A CLEAR VIEW.
I tell my friend to lightly squeeze MY trigger while IM AIMING AT THE BOILER ROOM OF THE BUCK
Can I make it any clearer? Or are all of us hunters too retarded to understand the concept of this question?

Heres the part I don't get. How can a person feel good about a deer when they have no idea what it looks like? Its your word its a buck. Is it a 3x3, 4x4 basket rack, what? Most hunters would like to seize the moment and decide on their own if that is the animal they choose to shoot or let him walk. Then there are the others that say "its a buck". This "person" needs to let the other person get his own buck, on his own with knowledge that he may end up without one. Thats part of hunting.

That's my take on it too. Even if it was safe (which it isn't), what's the point? Your friend wouldn't have accomplished anything (he couldn't have killed it on his own), so why bother?
Some people will go to extremes to kill a deer...whatever happened to the thrill of the hunt? Might as well shoot it out of your living room window if all you want is a deer.
Edit: Also, can we please strike the word 'retarded' as a term of derision from our vocabulary? It's pretty offensive in general, especially considering some people on this forum may have mentally handicapped family members. I think we can agree that 'ignorant' or just plain 'stupid' is equally accurate in describing the OP's question.
