[QUOTE="Mike 338, post: 741104, member: 41338"] I believe I said "lower" instead of low. A small but notable difference. Actually, I'm not 100% sure those shots hit trees. They just didn't hit the critter. I'll concede your point. It's hard to defend a position that the shot that missed was the right shot to make. I'm not proud of any shot that I've missed, none the less, I wouldn't have taken it if I didn't think I could make it. Also, I didn't say I only shoot running animals. I recall only 2 in the afore mentioned scenario. Everything else was standing, walking or such and to date, to the best of my recollection, they've all found the freezer. My point here is not to advocate shooting at running game but it illustrate how a hunter can find himself with a warm barrel and still need another well placed shot. I approve of your fore fathers parenting methods. Respectfully, you weren't there. Only in your imagination do those safety concerns exist. I might also point out that as a Guide, you have no clue who your sharing a hunt with yet somehow you know me? I've shared a camp a few times with the "I think, therefore I'm right" crowd. They're always getting into trouble. I'll try to contain my grief knowing that hunting with me is off your bucket list. Curious... does your Winchester EW say " Morgan UT" on it? [/QUOTE]
