I've taken some running shots at deer from my earliest years hunting and have done well. That's not bragging, but simply a fact. I've also done some longer range hunting and have done well there, too. That doesn't make me anyone special. I'm certainly not "special" enough to believe anything I aim at with a "sniper rifle" is going to fall to my bullet and I'd have to be out of my mind to suggest to others that I'm careful about either approach if I had already stated that I'd shot a buff in the guts just to get a rise out of him. This entire thread was basically shot in the guts about the same time the poster mentioned shooting a buff that way.


Good intentions will always be pleaded for every assumption of authority. It is hardly too strong to say that the Constitution was made to guard the people against the dangers of good intentions. -- Daniel Webster
