At 79 years old next month,the only off hand shooting at a deer or elk would be if they are less than 15 yards. In my early years while shooting in competition I felt confident of shooting at a running deer and doing so successfully. Now I always carry a bipod and use it, and don't even shoot at an animal if they are moving.
If God wanted you to walk and carry things on your back, He would not have invented stirrups and pack saddles
