[QUOTE="ATH, post: 95910, member: 1656"] Kirby had ranged something close to the wolf and was pretty confident he knew close enough to make a good shot. True, he was a little off. But in this case the buck walked out and he had no idea how far it was away as he didn't even have a rangefinder. I'd call that a very different situation. Nothing's 100%, I shot the hair off one's belly this year because my rangefinder batteries were going bad and it gave me erroneous readings! As for passing on the deer, I think that was a good decision. I've been there; passed a 20=yd bowshot on the biggest buck I ever saw (to this day) because there was a single branch across the chest and I was afraid I'd glance off it and wound the big guy. Hard to do for being 16 at the time, but I never really regretted it as it was the right choice. If I'd wounded that buck I'd regret it to this day. [/QUOTE]
