a hunter with morals should have a "shoot to kill" practice. wounding an animal to die a slow death is just cruel. you nor the animal wins.
I think new Zealand has a fair few "hunters" that don't give animals the respect they deserve. some lesser game like possums and goats are basicly used as practice or targets a lot of people are willing to have the bullet hit anywhere, or try stupid things. iv seen on forums plenty of times... oh I will practice on a goat first. iv even seen one guy say im shooting goats with rimfire subs, im going to keep increasing the range until it doesn't work, or maybe it was start way out until it works, I cant remember but what an idiot.
its fairly simple.... its likely your not the only person in the bush, be 100% you know what your shooting and you have a safe backdrop behind the animal. end of!
