Its just that we dont write stories about our fuk ups

Thats the thing though.

With the way that hunting is portrayed these days ,new bow hunters seem to think that because they can hit a cardboard box at 50 meters that it transfers onto wild animals just the same. Unfortunatly these guys wound their way to failure or doggedly succeed at the animals expense.

If eveyone at all times only took the shots and used the calibers that were 100% ethical there would still sadly be those times that it didnt quite work out,thats the game of numbers.But going out with gear that has a propensity to wound and has a long and steep learning curve that most people just never master does more negitive damage to ethical hunting that a few blokes arguing on a forum.

Can you imagine what the graph would look like showing the adoption of muskets over bows way back when? It would probably look like Landrovers Market share after Toyota introduced the landcruiser.Everyone who could got one big reason for that.

not everyone that hunts with a rifle is an ace hunter either, I now guys that are the best of the best and are top shooters and have all the stories in the world about what ace shots they are but try and get them to come have a shoot at a target to show you and all of a sudden the excuses come out...

The reverse is also true though, I no plenty of fantastic hunters who have never shot targets.
Shooting paper doesn't interest some.
