In preemptive defensiveness,
my post above may give the impression that I routinely fling bullets through brush at game. It lists the results of 8 such shots. Those experiences were accumulated over many years. I was the shooter in 7 of the 8 mentioned, and could add a few more. All eight animals were killed, so I know whether and where bullets hit them.
--4 of the shots were first shots at an animal in a situation where the hunter did not see the brush.
--2 were in situations where I saw the brush and did not think it would influence the bullet enough to matter. (I was right on 50% of those.)
--2 were follow up shots, less than ideal due to brush but taken anyway in attempt to put down an animal already hit.
