Would you shoot?
You are hunting with your rifle in a stand and the biggest buck you have ever seen in the wild is walking up to the plot on the far side. Just before he gets clear he turns and steps behind a big oak tree with nothing but his back 1/3rd sticking out broadside, about 75 yards away. It is getting late and the only shot it appears you will have is a high hip. You have cleaned enough deer you know where the hip joint and femoral artery are. Would you take the shot, I probably would. .

I'd shot through the tree with my .223 and hit him in the eye.

But to answer your question in a serious manner, deer or no deer I'm not taking a bullchit shot at anything. I don't find it to be safe.

Off course I would shoot. But only if I had my trusty 338 Lapua! Another good reason to hunt with a heavy big bore rifle.

I most likely would be shooting a stw or warbird so I would have more than enough gun..I would probably take the shot hunting in bama u sometimes only get one chance at that Big buck..

Sure, I'd shoot, I've accidentally hit em in the hind quarter and killed em, I would rather not take that shot but in this scenario, I think my 300 win mag would knock him down and then I would finish him off.

Definately, as long as you have enough gun, that shot will drop them just like a high shoulder

Re: Would you shoot? - 07/23/14 07:27 PM
I've been in this situation about 10 years ago. I can see it like it was yesterday, and have had plenty of time to think about it. Hind quarter shots may not be the most humane if you don't hit perfectly but in a lifetime you only get so many chances at good ones. I won't let another really good one pass without shooting.

Re: Would you shoot? - 07/23/14 08:25 PM
I had a situation 2 years ago similar to that and I didn't take the shot. I do my best to try and make a good clean shot every time.....you owe the animal that. Now I have made my share of bad shots when I was younger but now I have gotten to the point to where if I don't feel comfortable with the shot I won't take it...especially with a bow.

Re: Would you shoot? - 07/24/14 06:09 AM
About 10 years ago, i shot at a nice buck about 200 yards away. I hit a limb and missed the deer. He ran up a ridge and stopped. At this point he was a lot closer, probably 100 yards. All i could see was his back 1/3. I did not take the shot. This was in mountainous terrain, and i really didn't want him to top that ridge, cause it was a hell hole on the other side. Hard to say what i would do, i'd like to say, i wouldn't take the shot, but i'd have to see the deer. The easiest thing in the world to do, is to say what you would do in a certain situation. Most of the times, we dont know what we would do.

Re: Would you shoot? - 07/24/14 08:08 AM
No way in hell would I take that shot. I have a grunt call and know how to use it. I had a buck one time walk in behind a huge beech tree right before dark. I didn't see just how big he was till right before he stepped in behind it. I waited for him to step out from behind it for 10 minutes. When I got down I walked over there to where he was. It was like he walked in behind that tree and disappeared. He was a good buck. I think he made a 90 degree turn when he walked in behind it and walked down the banks of the creek.

Re: Would you shoot? - 07/24/14 10:41 AM
Bottom line is YOU should not take a shot YOU cant make. Even my treestand rifles can hit the same bullets hole at 100 yards. So in a shooting house at 75 yards, with a rifle I can hit a golf ball ever time Why would I not take this shot? If I have a rifle that leaves an exit wound the size of a tennis ball why would I not take the shot?
Posted By: doekiller
Re: Would you shoot? - 07/24/14 11:45 AM
I didn't take that shot a number of years ago and never saw the buck again. Given the choice again, I don't know what I would do.

Re: Would you shoot? - 07/24/14 12:56 PM
I think I was 16 or 17 when I had a similar situation. I was in a tripod looking at a green field and a NICE 9 pt, crossed the road past the field (maybe 200 yards), he walked across before I could get on him and steady, but he stopped right before he completely got in the woods. I watched his hindquarters for a few seconds, then he took a couple more steps and was gone. I do not regret not taking the shot.

No. I've let several good deer walk over the years for not having a good shot. I've taken what I thought were good shots on deer and have them run off never to be found and felt sick over it for months afterwards. I definitely wouldn't take a chance on a marginal shot and run the risk of messing him up.

Its not to me! Because I shoot so much, I honestly believe I can not miss any shot that I choice to take. Winning lots of shooting trophys gives me a supreme and confident additude! I wont apoligize for being the best shot on here!
Paper or hair I will NOT miss. Thats a bold statement but BOLD men are the ones that take home thropys! Just because YOU cant make this shot doesnt mean you should sit on your golden throne passing judgement on me! I know beyond a shadow of a doubt I can make a 75 yard shot out off a shooting house as described, and I am willing to bet on it, just name the amount!

I sure hope you can make that shot out of a shooting house at 75 yards with a jacked up rifle with a Hubble on top. BTW, I never said I couldn't or wouldn't take the shot. Lots of folks can make that shot. As I remember ,choosing to was the question.

Of course I can make the shot with any of my rifles! Some people INSIST on making things harder than they have to be!Just because I shoot paper doent mean I can make the shot on deer. The whole point is confidence. Thats what I said.But you had to throw the whole" Its not a paper target" in their. You maybe the "master monster deer slayer of Jackson County" but never think that just because I shoot big rifles with large scopes that I cant make any shot I chose with my treestand rifles. I quess its really not your fault. Lots of ol timers are stuck in their ways of thinking.
I choose to make or take this EASY shot because I CAN make it. Confedence is the only thing that matters in shooting. You either able to make the hard shot or you are not. IF you dont have it dont take it.

Re: Would you shoot? - 07/24/14 07:19 PM
You can and will miss if you hunt enough, especially in timber. Maybe less than the average Joe , but you will miss. Standing deer out of a shooting house at know distances off bags or punching paper is way different than a buck zig-zaging through timber at a trot. That is the point I was making.

This is a shot I want EVER miss. I dont see the dirence between paper punching and deer shooting, maybe in part of my shooting skills. I DONT wound deer, I dont take moving shots, and I DO NOT think that others in this post should brag about " I want take an unethical shot". Who makes YOU the judge of anything?

Are you saying a moving deer is a unethical shot for you and are not confident with it?
Myself, I feel confident on many shots moving through timber, if I didn't I wouldn't kill many. For some reason those old bucks just don't seem to stop in a large opening and strike a pose for me. However, I wouldn't feel confident at 600 yards with my little .308 bush hog and low power scope.

2Dogs, My ethical rant wasnt directed toward you. But,Thats a loaded guestion. Moving close up from a treestand? No. Moving IN thick woods. Yes. Lots of varibles. Walking slowly and walking at a good clip is different as well.What I ment buy I dont take moving shot is= low percentage shots, that have obsticles in the path off the bullet. Behind a oak, 75 yards, standing still is a shot I WANT miss!

Re: Would you shoot? - 07/24/14 08:43 PM

Funny thing is.......
A lot of people who only take 'Ethical' shots seem to not know where to shoot a deer to anchor it right there. I have trailed a whole of 'Ethical' hunter's gut shot deer that they shot right through the middle with their questionable shooting skills.
'Ethical' means a lot more than how and where a deer is standing when you shoot it.

To be "confident in a shot" to me means you have to had made that shot several times and understand exactly what's behind the deers skin and how they died. I've never shot a deer in the rump and thus uncomfortable with that shot.

Knowing the anatomy of a deer would be the only question to me. If you hit the femoral artery he will bleed out in a minute, taking out the femur/spine socket will knock him down.

We must hunt the same sub-subspecies, they also are steady walking for me, like they are on a mission and will not be stopped.
Tip.... if you hunt in timber, better be prepared to shoot moving deer. If you wait for them to stop in a open spot, you won't get many big bucks. If they do stop most of the time it's behind a tree, funny how they always know to do that ain't it?

Welcome to the future ol timers! The newer aga of throphy deer hunter does things differnetly!
We hunt LOW pressure deer, very carefully with scent contril being number 1! We use things call Nightforce,Zeiss, and Schmidit&Bender. We hunt large opens, cropfeilds, and cutover from up 1400 yards away. Sight is key, I want tocover all the distance I can. I like to look a deer over for= age,size, weight and score above 125 before I DECIDE if I will kill him! I hunt with the lates technology like Vector 4 rangefinder, Zeiss binos, Ozonics, Custom rifles in large calibers, and Nightforce scopes! I sometimes hunt out of treestands with 2.5x10x56 S&B on 300 wsm. The newer generation of hunter, LIKES to identify a big deer then hunt it. I am sorry you OLD FOSSELs dont like my methods of expensive and new technology. I think shooting a a running deer is not what I personally want to do. I lke to be 100% on the targeted aniaml I chose to kill, I have great trigger control. And I will bet any amount you oltimers want I can out shoot you. I will even let you use my gun and pick a yardage. Im sorry I dont hunt like the oltimers shooting at every run deer I see, but thats not what I want to do! Carry on !

Welcome to the future ol timers! The newer aga of throphy deer hunter does things differnetly!
We hunt LOW pressure deer, very carefully with scent contril being number 1! We use things call Nightforce,Zeiss, and Schmidit&Bender. We hunt large opens, cropfeilds, and cutover from up 1400 yards away. Sight is key, I want tocover all the distance I can. I like to look a deer over for= age,size, weight and score above 125 before I DECIDE if I will kill him! I hunt with the lates technology like Vector 4 rangefinder, Zeiss binos, Ozonics, Custom rifles in large calibers, and Nightforce scopes! I sometimes hunt out of treestands with 2.5x10x56 S&B on 300 wsm. The newer generation of hunter, LIKES to identify a big deer then hunt it. I am sorry you OLD FOSSELs dont like my methods of expensive and new technology. I think shooting a a running deer is not what I personally want to do. I lke to be 100% on the targeted aniaml I chose to kill, I have great trigger control. And I will bet any amount you oltimers want I can out shoot you. I will even let you use my gun and pick a yardage. Im sorry I dont hunt like the oltimers shooting at every run deer I see, but thats not what I want to do! Carry on !
yer just about to convince me of your way...please post pics of some of yer monsters to push me over the edge.....

I have said several time on here, I DONT know how to post picture. How bout several people on here that can testifie to the fact that I kill one or two 120 class deer every year! I hunt for age more than rack size. Year before it was 129 in and 143 in deer. I dont take running shots. I DO take long shots thats what I like. You comparing me to someone who illegally shoots doves of a powerline is why I wrote what I did. I can out shoot you any day of the week, but not a moving deer, because I dont shoot that way. Enjoy your Metamucil i got to go to town to get some rifle powder!

Yep, old timers are so silly. They do stuff like hunt with a beat up old rifle, drive old pick ups, save their $ and buy their own land . So behind the times.

Never said I was "the monster deer killer you and 2Dogs are" Never said anything about moving target. Admited I dont shoot moving target. And this "Real Test" of a riflemen is YOUR version of marksmen ship. I will admit you can bet me on moving targets. But their is NO WAY YOU can beat me own still targets at ANY range. I am willing to travel and BET ANY amount for 10 to 10000 dollar that you will not out shoot me! Make it easy on yourself. AND i never claimed to have a wall full of monsters. I just love ELR shooting at deer. Enjoy your Geritol and Metamucil, I have got some shells to reload!

Re: Would you shoot? - 07/25/14 01:36 PM
Shooters, read the exchange below , I think this may be how we got where we are now. I posted about shooting deer on the move in heavy timber and your first words in your response were , "It's not to me." I guess several of us took it you could and do shoot moving targets, and never miss or expect to miss. Then changed yer story........ my bad.
BTW, I'm not a monster buck killer, just spent a lot of time in the woods at the right place and get lucky sometimes. Deer hunting like many things in life is about location and timing, luck don't hurt either.
Shooting paper is much different than something with hair on it and no bulls eye moving in heavy timber.
Its not to me! Because I shoot so much, I honestly believe I can not miss any shot that I choice to take. Winning lots of shooting trophys gives me a supreme and confident additude! I wont apoligize for being the best shot on here!
Paper or hair I will NOT miss. Thats a bold statement but BOLD men are the ones that take home thropys! Just because YOU cant make this shot doesnt mean you should sit on your golden throne passing judgement on me! I know beyond a shadow of a doubt I can make a 75 yard shot out off a shooting house as described, and I am willing to bet on it, just name the amount!

But I dont EVER see any off you willing to shoot against me for money?? I dont mind being called arrogant, because I honstly beleive its not arrogancy, but skill set. Last F-class was about 4 or 5 years ago for me! Im thinking about getting back in to traveling and competing come next spring. My 6.5x284 should be done in 2 or the month, I depends on how fast I can get reamer built. I have honestly concidered quitting hunting so i will have more time to practice and compete. May of next year Talladge will have 600 yard range finished, also be told of a September match close to Linden? You would be welcome to come and shoot 1 of my match rifles and see for yourself how I shoot!

Not much challenge in punching holes in paper dots.....

I got a couple of buddies that are BIG into long range shooting/competition. It just ain't my cup of tea.
I respect the accuracy of the guns and their abilities.....It just ain't my thing. I shoot the same Remington Model 700 BDL LH .270 now that my Mom bought me for Christmas when I was 15 yrs old. I keep nice glass on it, and had it Parkerized. But, the gun is the same.....and fits me like a glove! It is as natural as pointing my finger at something to shoot and hit where I want to with it.

It appears it's because he can't buy manners or respect so he has to make up for what was never taught to him for the short coming.

why would you take a shot like that. if your gun leaves a hole the size of a tennis ball then it would ruin the hind quaters and leave you with maybe 10 lbs of meat. you might as well shoot a baby fawn if 10lbs of meat is all your looking for.

I hope he comes back soon..I prepaid for two bottles of the "shooters super dog repellent" spray!
I knew the demand would be high...so i wanted to make sure I got some of the first batch!
2 years ago. I missed a good one because the shot wasnt right. Had him dead to right, perfect shot, and then scope went black as i was on the trigger, hesitated scope,about 4 seconds later it come back into focus and i was still dead on. I guess i was a little far back on cheek weld. Anyways didnt take the shot. The deer runs off and ends up about 800 yards away at another plot in front of camera and stands there for about ten minutes. When my buddy pulled the card he sent me the pics. Disheartning to say the least. Another old timer at camp told me later when this subject came up. You dont always get what you want, But you gotta take what your given. I'd like to think i would take the shot, but I,m not completely convinced I would.

Unfortunately for the naysayers, he does. He might be an a$$hat to most on here but he has the pics. he says he has. I saw many of the deer personally and some of them came off property I managed/leased. He does like getting a rise out of you folks. He'll call and say look how riled up I got them now
As far as folks killing big deer in AL, I don't know many personally that have killed the caliber of deer he has. I know Troy and 2Dogs have killed some good ones but shooters would probably surprise most on here. He just aint real political and dang sure can't type.
Shooters can stir some folks up, thats for sure

Interesting thread!
The thing about shots like that is you never know if it really is the best shot you are gonna get. In the case of an unspooked deer walking to a patch, I'd wait. He's probably gonna take another step and give you a better shot.
A better scenario to determine how folks would handle a one-chance-only shot might be if the buck had a pack of dogs behind him and he paused behind that tree. Then you probably do have just one chance, unless you prefer to shoot him running. I once had a chance to shoot one in the hindquarter and while I was holding the gun on him and trying to decide, he took off running. Missed him 3 times. I've always wished that I'd gone ahead and shot, but I didn't expect him to spook like that.
I've only killed one deer with a hindquarter shot, and it was with a bow. She jumped the string and my old Whitetail Hunter wasn't exactly fast. I thought I'd missed until I saw her falling down about 75 yards away. Stone dead when I got to her.
Posted By: BhamFred
Re: Would you shoot? - 07/31/14 12:35 PM
Preacher, first deer I killed with a stone point jumped and I shot her dead in the hindquarter. As I was standing there cussing my self, poor shooting, jumpy deer, etc....she stopped, walked in a circle and bedded down. Minutes later she was dead. The femoral artery is a deadly hit, but I certainly wouldn't try it on purpose.

Well you know what they say about friends, if you have 1-2 true friends you are lucky.
I could call him any time day or night, no matter what kind of jam I was in and I could count on him. I hope you have one like that.
To your second point. That is because they hunt where someone might can to their property. Where he is killing those deer, good luck going cause that is a tight knit community and none of them take kindly to outsiders...

That is because they hunt where someone might can to their property. Where he is killing those deer, good luck going cause that is a tight knit community and none of them take kindly to outsiders...
Must be hillbillies and banjo music near by.

I've known him for years and I don't know that one....but we all have a past. Mine isn't spotless and neither is his. I bet yours isn't either.
That's probably also the cousin that tried to get him kicked off of property so he could hunt too. Just sayin. Not everyone gets along with family, I sure don't.

Do you wipe his ass for him, too? My past isn't squeaky clean and I assumed by your username that yours isn't. No, his cousin was bragging about how lucky he is and at the time was a member of the club. Don't know if he still is or not.

Nope but enough of the shat slinging has gone on. He earned a time out and shutup, so the running him down needs to stop.
Now I'm done with it...

Who got a timeout? I wasn't running him down, I was verifying that he doesn't miss.

Just to answer your question and not get back in all this crap.
Shooters earned himself a vacation. I think he is back now. There are other ways to verify his shooting

I'm shooting every time in the situation given. I started a thread just like this one a couple of years ago. If you can hit a 2 liter bottle turned on it's side at whatever the distance then you can drop that buck every time. You just have to remember to shoot high in the pelvic cavity and spine. Straight away is the one that has a very small margin of error,which is basically the base of the tail and I'm not taking that shot.
wth I'd a blowed his legs off and strangled him to death!
