The first shot was too far for me as I only practice to 600 and won't push the knobs further than tested at the range. Even 600 would have to be perfect conditions for me to try it. Ethical? I don't know the shooter's level of competence and so can't say.

What I can say is we follow one rule - shoot them until they are down - and stay that way. Had the shooter done that there was plenty of time for a follow-up. They are lucky to have recovered it.

No, I'm not a Ruger bigot - just an unabashed fan of their revolvers, M77's and #1's.

A good .30-06 is a 99% solution.
