Thread: A question for the bush hunters

I'm heading out on a trip on Friday to go after "my" stag I've been seeing sign of but no sight. I know where he hangs out but i haven't settled on a hunting tactic yet. I almost settled on spending time in a knoll near where I've heard him roar in the autumn, but 3/4 of the shooting lanes are along the spur or downhill.this isn't ideal because if I miss or the bullet passes through there's no backstop.

So my question is, how do you bush hunters out there manage your firing zones? Do you just pass on all shots that aren't into the side of a ridge or into the ground?

Identify your target beyond all doubt because you never miss (right?) and I'll be missed.
