TAKE THE SHOT or NOT? - #15

Nah, he's moving

this

Hunting is a thinking man's game...thinking and increasing your chances....preparation and being aware using past experiences and common sense. I don't think the deer thoughts come into play in the scenario at all but that was a nice add and misdirection to feebly support your decision. ..

I don't shoot moving targets. If that was the case why not shoot them as the jump over the feedpen fence.

unless you tie him down, how do you know he wont move at the time your release the projectile?
you dont
Therefore, chances are, you shoot moving targets.
and if your confident in your shot, chances are you kill the moving target just as much as if he were standing still.

BTW... dont you bird hunt?

LOL...you got me.....

[sotx]

I am thinking he is moving a little too quickly to get under that fence, so I am going with no on this one.

Yep, using hickory would be my choice!

[TheBigWoods]

I'm right there with you Systemnt. It is impossible to know until you are in the situation but if you are confident of the shot.....shoot. The leg being back at that distance wouldn't bother me cause I'm going right through the shoulder blade. The deer prolly wouldn't 20-30 yards so the it doesn't matter if it is neighbors fence. The drag back under the fence wouldn't be too far!

Ideally I have seen and patterned this buck and know he is going under the fence, and quartering away to his favorite trail. Then Ill take the shot

Red Oak.

Put him in the freezer!!

[randal]

No, can't believe the amount of yes on here lol.. Explains all the "dog needed" threads

[txdukklr]

man . . . . . . . do I think i could kill him . . . . . yes

but no, he's moving, his shot side leg is back and covering vitals too much and for me to want to take that shot I'd want a much harder quarter away.

I'm assuming he's going into a pen or just crossing a fence and get him on the other side . . . . he lives for a few more minutes
