    Well my ratio of deer shot to let walk is 0:5. I can see the point in VC's comment that you basically wouldn't shoot hinds at any time of the year if you wouldn't shoot them pregnant or with dependants. For me it would depend on the situation. If I'd put in some miles and it was the only thing that presented I would likely bag it. If there were options I'd go for something easy to carry since I'm a wimp.

    It takes 43 muscle's to frown and 17 to smile, but only 3 for proper trigger pull.
    What more do we need? If we are above ground and breathing the rest is up to us!
    Rule 1: Treat every firearm as loaded
    Rule 2: Always point firearms in a safe direction
    Rule 3: Load a firearm only when ready to fire
    Rule 4: Identify your target beyond all doubt
    Rule 5: Check your firing zone
    Rule 6: Store firearms and ammunition safely
    Rule 7: Avoid alcohol and drugs when handling firearms

    3kg rifle + 2kg water + 8 kg of assorted tucker, ammunition and torches in a 2 kg day pack = sorted. If you get any game then you have a training aid for your daughters to learn to carry with.

    I just put it into the that'll-never-work category and ignored it Rushy. That is the difference between living and merely existing.
