Nice looking deer. I'm sure he would taste great too.

the key is to get one's attention off of the rack, and onto delivering the shot. but, yes, plenty of hunters take shots like that all day long.

Under the right circumstances I would take that shot. Enough vitals are showing, though I have to wonder how mast he is moving.

Looks like about half mast to me.

They would call that a "quartering away " shot. 😄

If it wasn't too far away, moving too fast, and I had a good steady rest I'd take that shot.

Oh yes, I would take that shot. But I'd be shooting back of the neck, just above the back. He will drop in his tracks.

the only real difference between a good tracker and a bad tracker, is observation. all the same data is present for both. The rest, is understanding what you're seeing.

8 out of 10 guys would hit kim in the a$$ or shoot over him. I have seen that shot missed many times. Rio7

I'm a meat hunter. I hunt to fill the freezer. Using 12ga Sabot slugs, I've killed 3 out of 3 with that shot. If they can't hit what they are shooting, at the range they are attempting, they should hold their fire. I've never found a good recipe for antlers. In fact, I just traded a box load of the wall hangers to an Indian knife maker in exchange for an anvil. (Of more value to me) smile
