POP,

Ok he made a mistake he admits it and learned from it...

Can you tell me that NO S.R. hunter has ever done somthing wrong, even somthing he has practiced?
Example: deer hunter walks through dense timber jumps a buck, leaping and bounding away.. hunter says I made this shot before, BOOM, catches the buck iin the hind quarters breaking a leg and the buck keeps on going but hunter never gets a chance for a follow up. Never finds deer. Probobly happens 100's of times a year. But, because "thats hunting" it is OK?

I'm willing to bet the typical L.R. hunter spends more time practicing, learning from practicing and fine tuning his skills than the typical S.R. hunter.
