[QUOTE="älg, post: 72866, member: 2995"] In my opinion, what is being discussed is not the ethics of a LR shot at dangerous game.. As it has been said, all animals deserve the same respect and therefore the same ethics, from the animal´s point of view, should be applied to LR shooting, either a bear or varmint. The problem is not the ehtics but the responsability of the hunter, because of the unknown consequences of that shot if the bear is not killed. The same way as one should not shoot at an unidentified target or if there is a risk of a miss and a lost bullet ( at least in some areas), the shooter hunting dangerous game must decide if he should take the shot depending on his abilities and the conditions. if he can take the shot and has the proper equipment....why not ? ceg1963 clearly stated that many hunters shoot a grizzly under 100 yds. with much less skill than a LR shooter may have, so the risk of an angry bruin is higher in those cases.besides, an unmolested animal is much easily killed or even tracked. Let ceg1963 do his hunting.. and if he leaves the wounded bear in the wild ( which I am sure he´ll not ) .then it will be the time to scowl him ¡¡ ( and avoid his hunting area ¡¡). [/QUOTE]
