[QUOTE="Buffalobob, post: 95878, member: 8"] Birdman There are shots when one reasonably believes one has the correct information but does not (most of us humans make mistakes) and then there are the shots when one knows one does not have the correct information. Kirby beleived he had decent information on the wolf. Crane knew he had no reliable information. It would appear that there is some belief on your part that long range hunting is about perfection. In my opinion it is about challenge. I personally love to take running shots on deer and do not care what I have in my hands either bow or gun it does not matter. I simply cannot resist the challenge of the running shot. In thirty years of taking running shots I have not lost a deer yet. I do not strive for perfection, I go hunting to have fun and challenge myself. Crane knew in his own mind that he did not have good data and he did the right thing. Kirby and others post honest accounts of what happens but there is always somebody who comes along whining and complaining. It really is hard for anyone to post the truth if people are going to whine and complain. [/QUOTE]
