You need to explain that your brain can play tricks on you, even if you think you are 100% looking at a deer you can be wrong
I'm not sure anyone who's shot a human was 100% sure it was a deer. More likely they got to 20% and jumped the rest of the way because they didn't want to accept that it wasn't.
But in the moment they were 100% regardless of how they got there.Quote:

Tell him that until you can identify the age and sex of the deer, or in the roar make a brief assessment of the head, you haven't identified it properly and your finger doesn't go inside the trigger guard until you do.

This and it goes for all hunting not just the roar. Figure out what it's behaviour is, which direction is it moving, watch it if u canQuote:

Thats my rant .
Totally agree, great advice....Quote:
