[QUOTE="yobuck, post: 2875652, member: 12443"] Well my comments and opinions are only intended for those who shoot long range at animals. And especially at the longer distances. The sighter shot isnt taken at the animal, but something reasonably close to the animal. As a rule, the shot will have little affect on what the animal does, other than alerting it. It might also improve things by having the animal move slightly. Consider now that im referring to white tail deer, some animals will certainly behave differently. Call it whatever you will as for fairness, but first consider the whole aspect of hunting and killing animals to begin with. But feel free to do what suits you, and whatever self imposed rules you choose to follow. Years ago when we drove those same steep hillsides for deer, i took shots at running deer that i no doubt shouldnt have taken. And i doubt that there arent many others who couldnt claim doing likewise. I will also add that over the years we have taken a few animals that had previously been wounded. By whom would be impossible to know, due to the fact that it is all public land. We also watched a lone hunter walking along the edge of a ridge top kill a buck instantly and it slid down the steep hill in the snow. But he chased the other deer that were with the buck around a point, not knowing he even hit the buck. And he never even came back to check for any signs he had hit it. Near the end of the day one of our guys took over an hour to get to the dead buck, then he gutted and taged it and drug it down to a road where we met up with him. We now call that spot ( stupid bush hunter hill ). lol [/QUOTE]
