Thread: Projectile performance

I believe that it is immoral to take an animals life and not utilize every part. I think it shows a general attitude of disrespect for the game animal. In fact I would rather see a clean shot deer under a helicopter and fully utilized than shot through the shoulders and half of it wasted on the hill by a junior woodchuck.
In the meat hunting days there were rows of deer in chillers all around the country 99% were clean shot in the head or neck with scopes that were nowhere as good as todays scopes, so why cant people clean shoot today Is it a lack of ability, muscle tone, practice, confidence or lazy. Or is it all of those plus people taking long shots instead of stalking closer ?

Money talks. Were those the £1 per l/b days?

Personally prefer to see the newbie/recreational hunter getting 'one for the pot' compared to a pro shooting hundreds if not thousands of deer a year.

I shoot deer for a living and have killed much more than I could possibly eat. Don't you wonder about what happens to the deer after putting it to the chiller and never seeing it again? Could land up as dog food!

Much more respect for my friend who shoots in his leisure time and shares the proceeds with friends and family. Although he has been known to stray from the path and sell one to the chiller on occasion! @takbok
