I was always schooled never to shoot anything on a skyline always to make sure the bullet had something to stop it preferably at a downhill angle. Here I am watching "Best of the West" last night and the hunter in question shoots a pretty good Coues deer on the skyline at long range with an ULtramag. I won't judge anything just want to hear opinions on this.
I am not so sure about this...
First, I usually don't take them, HOWEVER, I could envision several instances where it wouldn't really be an issue...
All are remote locations... including where we shoot our coues deer in old mexico... a 250,000 acre ranch where we are the only ones hunting it and frankly on it.
The areas that I have moose hunted in Alaska would be a none issue... as would a few of the caribou areas that I have hunted...
Where were they hunting and were they the only ones in the area?
