MY TWO CENTS WORTH-SHOOT EM WHILE THEY'RE FLYING AND ON THE GROUND ONLY IF THEY HAVE BEEN WOUNDED AND MAY ESCAPE AND DIE. IF YOU ARE HUNTING WITH DOGS THEN SCRATCH THE SECOND SCENERIO CAUZ IT AIN'T WORTH THE CHANCE OF HITTING YOUR BEST BUDDY. A FRIEND OF MINE ACCIDENTALLY SHOT HIS SETTER IN THE LEGS WHEN HE WAS TAKING A SHOT AT A RUNNING, AND WOUNDED QUAIL. HIS DOG HAD TAKEN OFF IN THE OTHER DIRECTION BUT U-TURNED AND HE DID NOT NOTICE IT. FORTUNATELY #7 1/2S DIDN'T DO A WHOLE LOT EXCEPT END THAT DAY OF HUNTING AND RUN UP A SMALL VET BILL. UP A LITTLE HIGHER AND IT WOULD HAVE HIT HIM IN THE FACE INSTEAD OF THE FRONT LEGS.
GOODEE
