RE: Was this a bad shot?
Looks like a good shot to me! Thedeer is dead. I know I can shoot my 3d through the eye at 30 yards.
Before I get jumped here, I'm not recommending this shot. But you cannot argue it's effectiveness.

Well, judging from the picture, I'd guess that deer wasn't shot while hunting.
The deer isn't field-dressed and is laying on the pavement. The arrow through its head is a target arrow with a field tip. Also, you can see the darkness around the perimeter of the picture, which leads me to believe that the photo was taken at night, with a flash.
My guess is that this particular animal was dispatched secondary to a vehicle collision. If my hunch is right, they did the right thing by putting thedoe down with whatever lethal force was at hand - in this case - it was a target bow.
Maybe I'm wrong, but good food for thought.
In a hunting scenario, however,that's nothing to be proud of.
