I guess it depends on the circumstances. If you are a farmer with a groundhog or coyote problem then you aren't gonna lose sleep over gut shooting one and having it get away. But, if it is an animal that you want for its meat and/or fur then you have a different perspective.
Very true.. I don't see why people call others poor sportsmen or unethical hunters or slander them on their type of weapon they used if it didn't die on the spot..I don't know why people get upset for those who try head shots that are less than perfect with shot placement. I do my best for one shot one kill.. But I am not going to bash or slander someone because they tried a head shot or attempted to kill an animal at 150+yrds with a 22 or 17hmr.On predators I think it is challengeing to do so though..If youwasn't going to eat it or save it's hide what is the big deal about it if it runs off and dies?? Same with crows,To most they are just target practice..No use in them...If you wound a crow,No big deal...
