would you shoot this buck with a bow?? I think this is the same buck I wounded, and a week later missed last year.

Heck yea, I wouldn't hesitate! He's a BIG 2x3 by the looks of it...certainly not a young buck either.

yeah, after a long stalk and a 2 hr wait for the buck to get up from his bed. I took a 35 yd shot (well within my comfort zone), but the wind was gusting up hill in my face which I believe caused the arrow to hit him in the neck (entry on his right exit on his left). I aparently didn't hit anything vital though cuz I watched him and the buck he was with for most of the rest of the day and he didn't seem hurt even though he bled a little. i think he's an old buck too and probably the largest bodied deer I've ever seen. Could only get about 80 yds from him this season.

Yep I would shoot it to.
Live to hunt, hunt to live.

Don't argue with an idiot; people watching may not be able to tell
the difference.
