Darryl, have you guys ever missed one?
<br>
<br>The reason I ask, is that I assume (knowing that sets me up) that if you aren't willing to go after a deer or elk that you wouldn't be willing to hike the 1000+ yards to check for signs of a hit on a missed animal. If you never miss (hard to believe -- but I'll take your word for it) OR you follow up on your shots to be certain of a clean miss, then I guess I don't have a problem with what you are doing.

<br>I can't imagine getting enjoyment out of hunting this way, but that doesn't make it wrong for you to do. I'd love to try it on a paper target. I'd rather see your "type" of hunter than the dude who uses the same box of shells for 10 seasons. As someone else mentioned, I hope you aren't poking game out from under folks on their stalks. Not a cool thing to do, regardless of what range you are shooting. I hope you aren't taking this as a flame, it is not intended that way -- unless, of course, you aren't following up on your shots!!!
