Yep, I sure am a bow hunter.
Head shot, LOL.
It's not that it's not a "good shot". It's that it's not the best shot. I never aim for a second best shot on purpose and I can't remember the how long ago was the last time I had to blood trail or go look for a deer that I pulled the trigger on.
The adrenalin and hormones released in the panic when they are running are a huge part of giving venison that "gamey" smell and taste you hear people complaining about. Take out the pump, take out the gamey taste.
I'd like to know how many people giving all this advice have ever even killed a deer. When I first started here I noticed a guy giving hundreds of posts worth of advice and then suddenly he didn't even know if he needed to adjust his sights or even how to adjust the sights on his own hand gun, ROTFL.
