Just wouldn take the shot man. I let a very nice one walk last year for that very reason.. But he made it to this year and is looking good!! Nice 10pt with a kicker
i hear ya... i wouldn't want my first nice buck to be an embarrassment of a shot situation.

Could see me rolling up to show my old man and him looking for the bullet hole.. Then ask "son where did ya hit him" me "well........he turned just as i was pulling the trigger and i hit him a little further back than i wanted"

Have taken the neck shot, head shot and yes the poo hole shot...BTW, poo hole drop him in his tracks....COLD just after a rain, tinks hanging on ridge top, he comes in without me seeing until he is on his hind legs....Noses up to the tinks and as soon as his nose touches it, he bolts down the other side of the ridge into the cutover...can see head and poo hole, had heard stories...I sent it, he dropped...While cleaning, bullet entered just to right of glory hole, traveled through, hit lungs, exited out top of back and into his melon...DRT...Except for under stand skillet heads for a head shot, I always, without a doubt go high and tight on the shoulder. Definately not normal practice for a neck or head shot for me...just too easy to miss a inch or two one direction or another and wound one...FYI head shot deer are nasty to clean, unless you like backstrap still quivering in your ice in the chest....flopping on the back of your cart/bike slinging blood everwhere...NASTY....
