[QUOTE="grit, post: 183036, member: 4112"] Idaho, Nice job! An on the spot flop at archery range has got to make you grin! I know there's a bunch of folks with a bunch of ideas about the right ways and wrong ways to kill animals. I want to ask a question about your shot and I want to ask those folks who're going to be tempted to tell us how wrong things are to keep those opinions to yourselves. I've always been real careful with my shot selection and placement while archery hunting. I once hit an elk in the shoulder. That elk lived to become food for coyotes or bears fattening up for winter. He didn't come home with me like I'd planned. So, I pass a lot of head on and quartering to shots. I've got several videos where the shooters don't follow the "rules". These folks take these shots that aren't commonly accepted. They place their arrows in unconventional spots, and place them well. The results are as hoped for. It sounds like you shot this fellow in the neck, facing you, intentionally. If so, what are your experiences / thoughts on these types of shots? I'm interested in expanding my knowledge base and increasing my opportunities. [/QUOTE]
