I shoot most animals in the gloom of early dark. If they are gutted and off the ground they are perfect to leave one till morning as happens if you shoot two. Drape over a bush or a big rock if there...

A 100 metre group under 2 MOA is perfectly acceptable for hunting. 1 MOA or better is target shooting territory!
