    top end advice. I cant stand the old attitude of where there's lead in the air there's hope....quite often there's not , just a lot of wounded animals dying slowly from bullet wounds or half blown off legs. There's a lot more to hunting then just shooting shit. Surely you aren't that hard up for meat that you have to throw lead at every single animal you come across even if you aren't confident of a quick and clean kill??Bit of respect for the animals you hunt will go a long way.
    sneeze, outdoorlad, tetawa and 8 others like this.

    The alternative for these animals is to suffer a fate worse than death due to the fact the doc block is about to be hit with 1080 poison so just about any death is better than suffering that, hence why I have been out recently to get some meat in the freezer. I do have great respect for the animals I shoot and nothing is wasted whether its rabbit and wallaby for the cat or deer for our table. maybe I can't stand your attitude, do I detect a bit of green eyed monster there fella (a bit jealous of some one taking a good shot perhaps?)
    When hunting think safety first

    Don't confuse a lucky shot with a good shot chap.
    Na not jealous at all , I shoot more then enough to keep my freezer full , even only use the 1 shot as well.....quick and clean.
