Shoot or No Shot?

[WapitiTalk1]

For those of you who say shoot, is this about right

I agree but would like a little more angle.  This shot even if it goes good can result in a single lung with little or no blood trail (although very fatal). It's a shot that can be made I think this shot results in many lost animals.

Yep

That's a clear gutshot.

One inch to the left is where I'd have my pin 

Shot a cow at a pretty similar angle ....she died really really fast..

In the thick stuff I frequent you don't get to wait for a second chance

[mossback91]

Shot a deer like that this year.....took out lung and heart!! made it 50 yards or so before he took a nap!

[BOWHUNTER45]

Not really a low percentage shot at all ...  you could almost hit that bull in the butt and drive that arrow straight threw the lungs and maybe the heart ..  All day long !

10-4 on that !

No way.

I'd be taking that shot so quick the arrow might get there the day before.

Liver, diaphragm, lungs and heart and he'll probably watch the arrow skipping on the ground in front of him.  I doubt I would be blood trailing him more than 40 yards from impact!  If it wasn't for the hill I'd expect to watch him go down.

Glad to see RadSav respond on this, I was hoping you would   

Phantom post some more

I would take the shot for all the reasons radsav said

[boneaddict]

He wouldn't know what hit him.

[bearpaw]

That looks pretty killer to me!

I wouldn't even have to think about it.  I would drop the hammer in a heartbeat.  He might not even run more than a couple steps. Some people think that is a smaller kill area than broadside but actually the kill volume is much larger.  I would put it right behind the last rib and out right in front of the offside shoulder.  I had just a slightly different angle on my bull this year and he didn't go 80 yards across the clear cut.  Mine was at 53 yards on the range finder.  Complete pass through, never knew what hit him.
