Hunters Safety course not required in NJ??? They get pretty detailed here in Kansas about knowing the law and your weapon and game identification. People get in trouble because they are ignorant of game laws. Safety is compromised because of not know their weapon and not putting in the time to practice.

This poster needs to re-evaluate his woodsmanship skills and seek out a mentor to learn the basics from and above all...Practice, practice, practice..... If you can't control your weapon enough to find a big game animal in the sights and shoot anyway wounding the animal for a 2nd time you might want to take up golf.... doesn't sound like hunting is your cup of tea.
