Just because "there's an ap for that" doesn't mean most people should try it


Pretty easy to tell sometimes that a critter isn't about to up and move. I'll submit a deer I recently shot in Wyoming:

This year's was a chip shot, but last year I took one in a very similar scenario at 503. In both cases I had zero concern my target was about to move.

there was a time when shooting a bedded deer was akin to sleeping with your sister. just wasn't done. that was back when we usually made head shots on deer or neck shots. today the experts squeal like pigs if that is done. only way to kill an animal is heart/lung preferably with shoulders also smashed. Phooey!

the consolidation of the states into one vast republic, sure to be aggressive abroad and despotic at home, will be the certain precursor of that ruin which has overwhelmed all those that have preceded. Robert E Lee
