243 for my son

[Andy L]

Aim to Maim,
I agree and thanks for the kind words. I truely try.

Its like my dad. He took my oldest hunting once while I was working. My son came back all excited that he had missed a huge buck. My dad was snickering. I asked my son the details. My dad spoke up and said it was a long shot and he didnt have a rest. He thought it was funny. I didnt and told them both that. My son looked at my dad and said, "see I told you dad wouldnt be happy about me taking that shot". Pissed my dad off, but I dont care. Thats not what I want my boys taught. Shooting at animals is a serious thing to me. Wounding because of sloppiness is not acceptable. It seems there was a fence a few feet away and if my dad had taken time to talk him thru it, he could have walked over there and taken a rest and most likely made the shot. Or, if it was too long, dont take the shot. Hes had to pass on questionable shots before.

The bullet thing is a dead issue. You wont convince me what I have seen is wrong.....

JMHO

Andy
