I'm not noted for my restraint
This was a semi work situation where I'm expected too shoot what I see.

But if it had been a recreational hunting scenario and I had a long carry out I wouldn't have taken the shot.

Frankly the shooting is a bit embarrassing but the learning ( never too old to learn ) that came out of it was worth sharing.

And I forgot too mention I don't have a gun dog now so I'm both the shooter and finder
