Alright sammy you smarta$$. If you kill with no remorse or thought of the lose of life then you are a sociopath. Plain and clear. I would shoot a coyote with a .22, but I wouldn't shoot it at over 100yrds unless there was a damn good reason to do so and I wouldn't shoot through brush or anything else either. If we didn't shoot cause we were worried that we might make a poor shot as much as you are suggesting then we would never shoot cause what if the wind kicks up or the animals moves at the last second... ECT! I won't lose sleep if I ever injure and can't recover an animal for reasons beyond my control, but I will make damn sure I don't neglect what I can control, and if I make a mistake I will just do my best to learn from it and keep it from happening again. Just cause I don't respect animals as much or more than humans doesn't mean that I give them no value at all. If you didn't care then you wouldn't even bother hunting them unless you gain a sick sense of pleasure from having the power to take a life at your whim, and then still you would have to feel something about them cause they would be endeared to you by the fact that they have life and you can't kill somthing that doesn't live. If you truly believe what you claim then you are more messed up in the head than your average serial killer, and if you don't beleive me then you can go ask a shrink, but if you tell them that your talking about yourself don't expect them to let you leave.
