What's your take on shooting a deer in the ass on purpose?
if I shoot a deer in the chest and it comes out his ass, is it better than shooting it in the ass and having the bullet exit the chest. All have died.
In Stick's case it was an Amax from a 7wsm. Not a bullet- I think- that one expects end-to-end penetration on.
He shot it again as it lurched away.
Smokepole- I've shot a deer in the ass, so I guess I'm trying hard enough. It was a gawdawful mess. Not something I'd even consider doing on purpose. Stick's account was basically that he got tired of waiting for another angle, and wanted to impress someone with him, so he shot it in the ass. I have a problem with a self-proclaimed super-sportsman doing that.
As to a beef, well, we have history <grin>. But I'm really not carrying emotion with me here, at least not negative emotion. It amuses me to bonk him upside the head with what I perceive to be his folly, and I suspect the same is true for him.
It's just the Internet fellas... just the phookin' internet... grin...
