If that shot is too dangerous, then what are you gonna do wait for him to walk in front of a brick wall
. As far as the shot goes, yeah but I wouldn't be sitting there with a .243. Bang, I'd be aiming for the exit hole!

Well "just trees" is part of tons of hunting scenarios. But, if I'm hunting an area I'm gonna know beforehand the lay of the surrounding area anyway, that's just common sense.

From a safety standpoint, this shot is marginal. You are shooting up at the animal, with a background of foliated forest. I would take the shot if I had a good rest aim and was confident ofa good hit. The correct shot placement for this situation would be squarely in the shoulder, there should be no exit wound with a 243.
