Yes everyone makes mistakes!

Just goes to so we all learn!
1 don't take long range shots in high wind.
2 only take long range shots if you have plenty of range time at doing this. It's a skill that needs to be learnt and it's a perishable skill at that, which means you stop practice the skill diminishes.
3 use a could bullet with high BC that you know is going to make a big wound thus bring a swift humane death! This is an ethical thing to do.
Just hope he dragged the gut and offal out of the stream bed.
Nice to see that he took out the meat though.

I may disagree sum what with point 3. If ballistics are known at range as in energy etc and you are a gd shooter you could lob a rock in. High BC is good but don't get hung up in it

Just my 10c
