Some think it unethical to shoot them on the run...Those that grew up doing it don't....
This would be a quote from a Wayne Van Zwoll article on the campfire home page....
"With Nylon 66s, Remington salesman Tom Frye challenged Ad Topperwein’s eye-popping record on tossed 2 ¼-inch wooden blocks. During a marathon session in San Antonio in 1907, Ad had wearied several Winchester 1903s firing at 72,500 blocks. He’d drilled 71,491, including a run of 14,500 straight! Unintimidated, Frye passed the 43,725 mark with just two misses. He stopped at 100,010, having splintered all but six." Think it would be unethical for him to shoot at a running Deer?
Have we regressed as shooters while constantly being reminded of clean kill. What is a clean kill??? Instantaneous, 5 seconds, 30, a minute?
I break a win on a Grouse and the Dog brings it back....at which time I have to kill it with my hands...Could be over real quick, but it wasn't clean....
I find none of it clean....You start blowing animals apart, it is all messy....
We all shoot at enough game and we all will eventually mess up a shot...
