If you can't identify it DON'T shoot it.

Hence why i waited and moved in on it. I could have shot it if i wanted i was 10m away and had a good enough look at it to know it wasnt anything but a hare sized animal.

90% is not good enough, go back and read everything you've written, you didn't identify it otherwise you would not have started this thread. At the moment there are a lot of pig hunters with dogs in Pureora North as it's the only DOC land around with out 1080, some have brown dogs.

Yes but he did not pull the trigger as he wasn't sure so I'd say he knows about identifying his target.

Read what he said " If it was later in the day would have given it 150g"
