With the thick woods and low deer densities of the Northeast, if your not going to shoot at a running deer, your not going to eat much venison. I missed one this past fall. Third time I'd jumped him, 85 yds in the woods going flat out, 90 degree crossing shot. Had a good look and a good opening...the only opening. I missed clean, but the idea of not taking the shot never crossed my mind. Made a similar shot the year before, a little further, but quartering. 200# of buck on the ground. Someone should tell the Benoit's and the Bernier's (the best deer hunting families there probably will ever be - trackers, not beanfield stand shooters) that they can't shoot at a running deer. But of course those boys can shoot, and have trunks full of wingshooting trophy's to prove it.
