This just makes me sick, theres no need to be shooting a deer in the head with a bow.

I'm just curious but if you were in a tree stand about 20' up in an oak and a nice buck with 12 long tines was walking strait towards you and stoped 30 yards out were would you aim?

If he comes in like you said and stops, he gets to walk. Pretty simple and it doesn't matter how big or small the deer is.

I had a heavy 9 pointstanding broadside at 30 yards last week but the shot wasn't 100% clear due to a little brush in the way. Sure, I could have stuck an arrow in him, but I wasn't positive I could put it exactly where itneeded to be, so I let him walk. It was dissapointing, but there was no way I was gonna take a chance at wounding that deer by taking an iffy shot.

Believe it or not, there is more to being a hunter than keeping track of a body count or worse turning deer into walking pin cushions. You do not have to kill a deer to have a good time.
