If you had read what I said about the shot, it wasn't risky. Maybe for you it would have been but not for me and the situation. I don't aim for the furry brown blob in the woods, I target specific points on the deer and never go for a "boiler room" shot. High Shoulder, direct heart shot or a head shot if conditions present it. 95% of the time, I don't have to track a deer and when I do, its usually a short walk. My 7mm08 shoots about 0.375" at 100yds and that's a 5 shot group.
