No bragging involved, just sharing some facts. While it may not be in your magazine subscriptions, spend time with those doing some culling and you will see that head shots are common. You remain the only "hunter" that I've encountered that intentionally and consistently goes for the butt and gut. Is there anyone other than you that advocates that?

I agree. And so you go for butt and gut shots, and this is our meat, so I prefer shot placement elsewhere. He never heard this one coming. wink

Wow, here we go again, you intentionally butt shoot animals, and you think you are the paragon of hunting ethics? Wow! [Linked Image]

Maybe everyone else is aiming somewhere other than the butt or guts?

Like this?

Hmm�. I shot a few clays back in the day.
