You make a really good point. Thank you for pointing that out. You're right, I should be sure of my target before I shoot. I guess that makes me an irresponsible Hunter, then. Not trying to be hard on myself, just facing facts. The fact is, I need to work on my identification skills.
Well, you learn from your mistakes. That's all you can do.Thank you so much for pointing that out. I appreciate it. I'll work hard to do better in the future.
Thanks again,
