I would hope that young hunter has a good mentor.
As I would "hope" they never take running shots.
Until you can tell me why it is unethical a running shot is just another shot.
The biggest reason a running shot is unethical is the increased chance that the shot will not be fatal. Pretty simple if you ask me.
I should clarify that I do not advocate running shots with bows and have never taken one with my rifle but when it comes to shotgun hunting there is nothing you can tell me about a running shot.
Why not? If a bowman is "good" and accurate what is the difference? Why not with a Rifle? If a rifleman is a dead ringer, why not take the shot?
I wonder why "buckshot" was ever introduced, hmmmmmmm
.
What does that have to do with shooting a running deer?
You are missing the much bigger point it is the hunter that needs to be ethical and choose his shots based on the situation and his/her capability and knowledge.
Again.........then why not with a Bow or Rifle?
There are running shots I don't take but the ones I do take I am confident in and in no way will I accept being labeled as "unethical" because of thatshot selection.
Where do you draw the line? Is that where everyone should draw the line? I am not labeling you. I simply said that I think ?taking a running shot at a deer is unethical.
The proof of my shot selection is in my crock-pot right now. You call it whatever you want, I call it tasty!!
Mine too, but the deer I killed were standing still
