This is just plain stupid. “You plan the humane path of the pellet” by knowing how your gun patterns and staying within that range. It’s a law of averages numbers thing. I shoot a lot of birds, I rarely have cripples when I do get one my dog nearly always runs it down.

But the point of this thread wasn’t about unintentionally making a bad shot with a shotgun. It was about intentionally gut shooting with a 22 to cause as slow and painful a death possible for someone to lazy to throw the dead hogs in a pit or other appropriate disposal sight.
