[QUOTE="shootski, post: 1866322, member: 106014"] All of you have some great practices and ideas on what works to be respectful of the prey...up to a point. Let me explain my thought. These days I only hunt with airguns, mostly what is called Big Bore by airgun hunters (bigger than .25 caliber) .308, .458, and .58 caliber. I'm shooting dead soft lead ball/bullet up to 510 grain all subsonic (under 1,000 FPS) to effective (Long Range Airgun Hunting) ranges of 150+ meters. So what? Hunting is about giving consideration of worst case for the prey! That is of course an animal that runs and you need to follow. That takes a blood trail aided by some great tracking skills! Therefore a larger round with a larger meplat does a more consistent job of providing a blood trail! Train for the best and plan for the worst. Show your respect for the prey; chose accordingly! Stay well! Wash those hands! shootski [/QUOTE]
