TAKE THE SHOT or NOT? - #11

[Encinal]

No... That deer and I are buddies. He doesn't even look at you when you cycle the shutter at 4 yards. I just wish he wasn't coming out so late.

[reddogdan]

I don't think everyone gets the jest of the game. It's not what the deer does later, it's what would you do right then.

[bloodtrailer28]

No! I'd have already passed out from seeing a deer that big.

This!!

I would really really want to take the shot but would let the buck in the back clear before I did.

[Darton]

Yes, the buck behind is on higher ground and would clear the exit!

[Txjourneyman]

No. can't take a chance on a pass through and hitting the second deer. Hitting bone could deflect your arrow anywhere. I believe waiting just a bit will give a clean opportunity at either one. Patience Grasshoppa!

[AntlerCollector]

Probably not, he's looking at me because I have already been shaking and fumbled so much, I have dropped my bow and can't find my release with is actually on my wrist...

Sounds like me too

[Buck-N-Rut]

I understand that the proper and cool thing to say is absolutely not! However, if he is alert and ready to get the heck out of dodge then I am sticking him right now. I hunt in a two buck county so I am gonna take my chances. I've never shot one that big with my bow so yes absolutely I'm shooting. If he's calm and in no hurry then I would wait for sure.

[docmay]

No. I would wait for the buck in back to fully clear and try to wait for the target buck to bring that near leg forward.

[Porterhouse]

No, he is Marko's buddy so gets a pass. Even if they weren't bff's I say no, don't want to hit second deer and don't like to shoot at them when they are looking in my direction.

[salth2o]

No.

[Backwoods101]

Nope, not with the other buck behind him.

Man, your right. That's a once in a lifetime opportunity for most if us. The other bucks leg should heal fine.

[bow4my2]

if im slightly to the left and not head on yes, if head on I wait 2 steps

[Skinny]

What's wrong with being in velvet?

The meat is not ready yet.

[Buff]
