[QUOTE="WildRose, post: 740763, member: 30902"] To be real honest, my dad, grand dads, and great grand dads would all get up out of their graves and flat beat the snot out of me for just flinging lead around the woods in such a manner. If you don't have a clean shot don't pull the damned trigger. I won't hesitate to take running shots but only in open country. Aside from the very high likelihood of game running off lost to die and be wasted in heavy cover you simply cannot track a running animal to get a clean shot while also being able to see absolutely everything that might be in the path of each bullet. Damned good way to kill something, or even someone and never even know it because you are too busy and too focused on keeping the track while flipping another round in for the follow up. To each their own, but **** I'm glad I don't have to worry about sharing hunts with people who take such low percentage, high risk shots. If I had a client do that even once in the course of a guided hunt, the hunt would be over instantly with no refunds. [/QUOTE]
