As a hunter, you owe it to the game you harvest to be sure that you do the job quickly. Whether its from a load of 6's or your foot/hand, whatever, just "Git-R-Dun" As it was said earlier if you cant finish the job, you shouldnt be out there...

BTW-I prefer to squeeze the birds chest, but if is still a bit frisky, I have no problem wringing a birds neck...

Just my two cents.
