Absolutely take the shot!!!
These guys saying NO spend too much time watching hunting on tv and less time actually doing it. This is what they prefer you to do.
"Alright aim, load the bullet, cut to comercial break, load the gun cock the hammer, finger on the trigger, cut to comercial break thank your sponsors, redo everything we already seen and shoot but dont give the money shot before cutting to another comercial break." Its Hunting not Hollywood people.
The point is to kill the deer!!!!! Its not spiritual, not everyone has a dreamcatcher hanging from there rearview, I'm not trying to be one with mother earth I'm trying to kill the thing!
So in closing, yes I do urge you to to take the running shot IF AND ONLY IF you are capable of doing so.
