very simple: Take all your other premises and change 5 to this....
Premise 5: A person can LEGALLY wound a deer by using any legal impement they wish at the same time knowing it was an ethically idiotic thing to do in relation to the sport of hunting as viewed by society.
How long do you think the one shot willy woodchuck took to scan his background in his haste to rip of his sole shot in the woods for the season. He was so overcome with joy of seeing a deer running mock 12 that he had the whereabouts to look at his background?? Probably not, but hey who' s to say he was wrong. That is except for the guy 50 yards behind him that he killed.
I find bow hunters worse that rifle since many shoot deer only to wound them,
Tomster get a grip dude that' s the most idiotic thing I' ve heard.
I always try for a kill and spend much time at the range practicing on the rifles I plan on using. Sometimes I have shot at running deer only to miss and most I go for double lung or shoot out the front shoulders.
And who do you get to help you practice that running shot at the range? Most be one hell of a friend!!
B&C I don' t care what your text book equations for logic dictate in accordance with etchics. All that crap doesnt matter. For you as a hunter to sit there and even entertain the notion of understanding these rebel idiots and their actions is appaling. The scariest thing to me is that you' re only about 30 minutes from me. I think I' ll put on a little extra orange!!!!
