[QUOTE="sable tireur, post: 2597604, member: 27307"] I believe that this is the right idea to use when hunting any species, when NOT to shoot! I am a meat hunter, not a trophy hunter so the pressure to make a snap or hurried shot for me is nonexistent. I will intentionally pass on a shot if I am not satisfied with the environmental information or if I can't achieve a completely positive hold. I do NOT chase wounded animals because I don't wound them, therefore there is no 'wish and prayer' that I'll find them at some point. As stated in a couple of posts above, practice, practice practice until it is automatic to make all the correct decisions then assess the real shot and decide if your target will fall immediately or just don't pull the trigger. Walking away from a questionable shot (wounded animal) is absolutely brilliant! :) [/QUOTE]
