Not to mention alot of hunters have no idea what the ammo they are using will and wont do in the gun they are using. I have never had a wounded deer run off from buckshot. Why? because I know its limitations. And if I cant safely cleanly kill the deer I don't shoot at it. Slugs? El same same. Rifle? Yep. Bow? Of course. If you don't know exactlly what your weapon will do then DON'T shoot the danged thing at a living creature.

Also several years back we had a group of city hunters arrested in the national forest. Why you ask? because each of them admited face to face with the game warden that they had had several good "brush shots" that day. IE they hear something moving in the brush and they blast at it then go see what it was. . . . . . .

Still gives me the cold shivers.

"The gun has been called the great equalizer, meaning that a small person with a gun is equal to a large person, but it is a great equalizer in another way, too. It insures that the people are the equal of their government whenever that government forgets that it is servant and not master of the governed." - 40th President of the United States Ronald Reagan 1911-2004
