Getting inside “the circle” of a critter is enjoyable to me, but that’s a personal choice, and pretty much what the terrain I hunt requires anyway.

It's nice to see an objective post in this emotionally packed discussion, which is fairly rare in these types of conversations.


Time and experience provide some perspective. I think just as much game is wounded and lost by hunters blasting away at tails as by bad long-range pokes. However one hunts, they should put in the time to develop the skill they need to shoot, and also to track and recover what they shoot.


What fresh Hell is this?
