And Im guessing whoever set up the trail cam knows whats beyond that target, so that would dictate the safety factor involved.
I agree with the 'hunter' knowing his terrain and what is/not in background.
In Ark. where I hunt, we wouldn't have to be concerned about another deer behind the one in the scene>BECAUSE we have such a liberal bag limit.
However, IF there was a small buck W/O 3 pts. on 1 side, it's illegal.
Best not to shoot but under certain circumstances very tempting.
