Thread: a question for the bush hobbits

Interesting thread. I have a different, but related issue. In the past, I've waited too long or change my position to get the "perfect" shot. Animal perfectly broadside; scope lined up nicely, no foliage in the way etc. Inevitably, the animal trots off before perfection is achieved. Of course, target identification is all important. Beyond that, if you use an appropriate calibre with the correct ammunition and the projectile hits in the front third of the body, the animal is going to fall where it stands. Be more snappy! I've been telling myself this for sometime and it seems to be working out.
