[QUOTE="memtb, post: 2281459, member: 75451"] Certainly there is no substitute for practice and bullet placement, no matter the bullet! However, I still contend that if the hunter’s season ends when the animal is hit, whether the game animal is killed or merely wounded....would make many hunters very carefully pick their components and their shots. In many places, especially when hunting Africa, you shoot it, you bought it......that may be to reason that you see so many one shot kills, as most hunters are more selective with their shot! “Stroking our ego”, be it using the smallest legal bullet diameter or taking shots that clearly should not be taken, whether beyond our skills or the cartridge capabilities ......have no place in hunting! I am not suggesting that this be a law......only that we as hunters follow a similar philosophy! I know that the word “ethical” promotes much anger and indignation among many......however, if we all treated every shot as described above, there would be far less wounded and unrecovered animals! memtb [/QUOTE]
