Depends on the situation. There ARE places I want them down NOW, not 35 yds later.
In South Texas I want them down ASAP, which is smart unless you like crawling through head high cactus and mesquite thats too dense to see 20 ft in and will make you look a lion attacked you when you finally make it out. Not to mention the numerous rattlesnakes...
Out west I like it if the animal is near the edge of a canyon or anything else that will make the pack job twice as hard if they get too it.
Out in the open, sure, I'll go behind the shoulder.
I think people that ask questions like this either haven't hunted as much as they say, or they've never hunted anywhere else except "their spot" and think deer are hunted the same way and conditions are the same everywhere in the world as it is "where they hunt"
