[QUOTE="7magcreedmoor, post: 984679, member: 48559"] Mr. Petzal doesn't have to hunt with me, and I don't need his permission or his blessing to do what I love. The only deer I have lost so far was one I hit through the lungs full broadside at 60 (that's right sixty, not six hundred or 1600) yards, with a shotgun slug (restricted area, no rifles allowed- see what happens?) yards. The buck was able to run far enough for another hunter just over the hill to shoot him again and claim him. He hit him so sloppily, I wanted no part of the resulting mess, so I just congratulated him and walked away. The point is, short range is no guarantee of success, nor is long range necessarily high risk. Everything I've hit with a centerfire rifle has fallen down dead. Period. No offence to you bow/muzzleloader/shotgun guys. I say we are all hunters, regardless of our preferred method. [/QUOTE]
