battue, I’m not trying to be argumentative and am “not” opposed to long range shooting of game.....but, a snapping of a twig, the smell of a predator or a human, and other factors can cause a “seemingly” relaxed animal to bolt without warning! If it happens at exactly the “wrong” time....we have a missed or wounded animal. Taking the shot is what we must all deal with.....assuming the animal “will not” move is rather unrealistic! memtb
