[QUOTE="Paparock, post: 1525992, member: 106235"] Personally, I have never shot at a running antelope as I have found that they eventually stop and then I can put the sneak on them to get closer for a standing shot. I also do not shoot them at long range even though I have that skill. The reason is things happen like an animal suddenly spooks for some unknown reason, the winds suddenly shift and a million other things that one just can't predict and I as an individual feel I owe it to the animal to give it as clean, as quick, and if possible as painless a death as possible. I grew up with an American Indian best friend that was closer than most brothers are. My mother used to say we would disappear in the morning into the forest and magically reappear just before dark. I always feel sad for the passing of an animal and thank it for its sacrifice as I will use everything about it. I studied many of the "old ways" of the American Indians. Some where good and some were not so good just as were the ways of the white men who conquered this nation. I started off as a History major but change because it was so depressing. One of the books I read and changed my life my Freshman year in college was "[I]Bury My Heart at Wounded Knee: An Indian History of the American West[/I]" By Dee Brown and Hampton Sides. If you have never read the book you owe it to yourself to read it. I read it in 1971 and have still have my first edition.
