[QUOTE="M_Shock, post: 436657, member: 20216"] I see where you are coming from...not wanting to be to harsh on him. But, we have all made a valid point (that is preached by almost everyone on this site) in a polite manner. Which is, if you haven't practiced enough to be proficient at the range you are shooting at then you shouldn't be taking the shot on game. And I wouldn't call 2 out of 7(?) very proficient shooting, would you? Especially when the target is the size of large bull moose... So how is it an irresponsible interaction to call someone out on something they screwed up on? That's how people learn... From the way he told the story it sounded kinda like they saw the bull, got excited and just started slinging lead at it. It got hit a couple times but apparently not very well since it wasn't found... You can stand up for they kid all you want, but there is no way your going to convince me that this was just an innocent mistake. It was totally irresponsible and neither him nor his dad should have even thought about shooting unless they new full well that they would be able to make a clean and ethical kill. [/QUOTE]
