smokepole, I probably worded it incorrectly. What I’m trying to say is.....assume the animal “may” move unexpectedly, at any time. “Not” they “will” move! I think that this should apply to any shot. IMO, the problem with “proper bullet placement” on an animal “unexpectedly” moving .... is increased exponentially with extended distances! I hope this clarifies my point......at least I understand what I’m trying to say! memtb
Thannks. You're saying "assume the animal might move, and decide to shoot/not shoot accordingly." That's a personal choice and really none of my business if you or anyone else decides not to shoot for that reason. Not taking a shot is almost never a bad decision.
But I do have a problem with anyone who translates that personal choice to everyone else and says that 100% of 600+ yard shots are "unethical." Because it just ain't so.
