Woodben, I stand by what I said. I have see way too much of the big drives running deer through the trees where hunters only get a small piece of the deer to shoot at as they run by. There are as many deer wounded as are killed, gut shot deer ham shot deer etc and the shooters don't even know they hit them. There are ways to move deer without moving them at mock speed where shoot them is a hail Mary. In my book of right and wrong, what I described is unethical. These are your words," I estimate 75% of our shots taken are at deer on the move that aren't necessarily a "perfect shot." None of us are what I would consider expert marksmen". Pretty hard not to say that kind of hunting is not using deer for target practice.
