A deer will die if you hit him in the femoral artery - it doesn't mean you should start shooting for the hams.
In my humble opinion, the risk of crippling a deer with a really painful and grizzly wound is too great with anything other than a broadside shot.
I personally chose to pass up deer if the shot is not 100% PERFECT. Despite only taking perfect broadside shots, I have STILL lost 2 deer in my life, a fact that is painful for me to think about. Why risk it? It's MY repsonsibility to do everything in my power to make sure that doesn't happen, so I pass on the trick shots.
