Yeah if I was hunting for food you better believe I would take the shot. A young deer is better eating than a old buck. Here in Idaho you usually get 1 deer with a fire arm and 1 with a bow.

For me hunting is more about getting away and having fun. I pass up many times more shots than I take. I like to hunt with a 357 magnum carbine so I have to make sure its a clean kill.

I would rather take a round of 50BMG to the foot than a 22short to the base of the skull. all 26 of my guns are 45/70 govt, 357 mag, 22 or 12 ga... I believe in keeping it simple. Wish my wife did as well...
