Was the truck running during the 90 yard shot?   :chuckle:
Kindly do not attempt to cloud the issue with too many facts.

Ive seen that red samurai running around loaded with guys many times before... Not my style of hunting but they do shoot deer every year. Nice muley.

I'm surprised this one isn't locked yet. With all of the smack talk goin on.
Well when an admin is also talking smack they tend not to lock it lol...

It's your thread. If you want it locked, just say so.
lol love hypocrites

Nothing hypocritical at all. So far, there's no reason to lock it. If you want it locked, I will. Other than that, there's no reason to yet.

" In today's instant gratification society, more and more pressure revolves around success and the measurement of one's prowess as a hunter by inches on a score chart or field photos produced on social media. Don't fall into the trap. Hunting is-and always will be- about the hunt, the adventure, the views, and time spent with close friends and family. " Ryan Hatfield

I think this applies

"Ability and ethics should go hand in hand. Even when you are confident of your ability at a given range, extenuating circumstances should always take priority. When cross winds, an animal quartering away too much, or branches in the flight path cause concern, the ethical bowhunter will let down unless a quick, clean kill is certain."

Hell of a deer hell of a shot. Don't worry about these liberal Subaru drivers. They never actually hunt and only care about complaining on the Internet. Congrats on being in the 10%.

I do find it kind of funny that when people say they practice with a rifle at 1000 yards and take a long shot on something, that it was okay because they practiced, but the same conversation for archery renders a person foolish. 

Say what you want about a 1000 yard rifle shot, but NOBODY knows what the wind is doing between here and your target, you can only guess.  Even a 0.5 MOA rifle shoots a 5" pattern at 1000 without the wind and any twitch of the shooter.

Most people let the rifle shooter off on the "practice" excuse.  Most seem not to on the archer.

For the record, I don't personally have a problem with it if you have confidence in your shot and the situation.  Especially if you seem to have good luck with it year after year.  I'd say the same thing if you had a long proven track record with the Texas heart shot. 

Also, most of you must realize that you're pawns in BillDos online entertainment.  He's likely beating you at his own game that you're unknowingly participating in....  I think watching this I'm going to take my deer this year and rub blood on its butt and make the same claim from 80 yards just to watch the circus. :chuckle:

Reminds me of the guy we ran into rifle hunting last year.....................claimed he had just shot a nice muley at 575 yards.  When I asked him how high he had to hold, he said he held "right on".  Oh well........................................

I have to agree with the group that is saying that they don't prefer the 90 yard shot, especially with a facing on shot. You made the shot and that is great, but for me personally, I have a set limit as far as distances go as well as animal positioning when taking the shot. I am confident out to 60 yards with my bow but will only take that shot in perfect conditions with a calm/unknowing animal so that I can take my time and settle in. As for straight on shot, again just for me, it would have to be 30 or under and again with almost perfect conditions. This all really has nothing to do with my abilities but more so just my belief that I would rather not take a shot then risk wounding an animal and not recovering it. I love hunting and killing an animal just as much as the next guy but also have a great deal of respect for what I am doing and set my ego aside while contemplating a shot. This is just my opinion so take it for what it is worth.
