Default Unethical shot and won't even admit it!

Ran onto this in another forum, and can't even believe it. I just want everyone to look at this, and then tell me if I am crazy for what I said to him.If the majority tell me I am wrong then I will publicly apologize to him (DeadEye).

i'm on the fence with this one, part of me says yes, unethical... but part of me says no given the description of the circumstances he gave... sometimes there is a fine line between ethical and unethical shots, for me, this would be one of those borderline shots... I probably would have waited a bit cuz I'd consider that a low percentage shot FOR ME, but, some others may not consider this a low percentage shot and if I were in that group I'd take it...

I have no ethics where hogs are concerned. Being from the panhandle you know what kind of damage they are capable of. Thin them out any way you can. I would take the shot and hope for the opportunity.

No apology needed, if you ask me. He isn't attackingwhat you saidfrom what I read and you voiced an opinion. No need to say you are sorry for what you believe in.... I think you are right, for what its worth..

I think it was a stupid shot especially when he says
that was about half skill half luck. due to the fact i was shaking
if you are shaking and you even admit that it was half luck why in the hell are you taking that shot. Stupid shot, stupid decision.
