Dink, sorry I hit a nerve sir. I own up to having shot a few deer in my life that got away as well. They were in the open, not disturbed and hit with proper bullets, and I understand THINGS happen and accept it.
That said, I believe in 'Fair Balance' which is say what you get when the FDA tells a drug company to put the side effects, warnings, etc. in the labeling so the consumer knows what they might get, in addition to the benefits of the product.
Make sense? I may be wrong, but I'd bet ALOT higher percentage of game gets wounded and lost when shot at 600-1200+ yds, than from 0-500 but that's just MY guess.
Does it matter? Well obviously not much to you. But I prefer to not risk a wounded or lost animal, and don't take risks that will increase that probability, but that's just me.
I'd bet there are many on the board, whether posting or not who DO care when an animal gets wounded or lost. Hopefully more than not, strive for one shot humane harvest when hunting.
So no worries, we can agree to disagree Dink and that's ok.
Have a nice weekend sir.
