Well I can see where your going with this and in the interest of honesty I will say that I would take that shot. If im hunting in VA and I have 10 seconds to shoot I can empty the gun accurately(3 rounds). Now hopefully it would not take all 3 but they would be there if I needed them. That is 72 #1 pellets or 63 00 pellets. That is a dead deer. In NC you can have 5 shots in your shotgun so that is 120 #1 and somewhere around 100 00.Despite what you think I understand your point and there is definitely validity in it but circumstances and situations and hunting styles are different everywhere and something youmight think is "unethical"may be common placein another region (I'm inSoutheast VA deer drives and deer dogs are common so I probably see more "moving deer"than some others).
