Would you take the shot
 
I recently was watching a show about the "Ohio grassman" . I was going to post a question ,as a joke,to Ohio hunters to see if any had ever seen one. Then I got to thinking about it. If you were out hunting and saw a grassman, bigfoot, or even a "black panther" (which according to the wildlife dept. does not exist), would you take a shot? Would it be ethical to kill something to prove it's existance? I know this sounds a bit silly, but I would like to hear your thoughts.

Sure I would take the shot. Almost everytimeI go hunting I shoot at something that I have no idea what it is. I'd probably shoot at it and then just keep shooting until I run out of ammo, just in case there are some more that I couldn't see! (wouldn't want one to get away):eek:

That's the human way, if you don't know what something is, shoot it or whack it with a stick and see what happens. Personally I keep a camera as handy as my gun anymore, and would shoot it with that so I could post it here.

I don't think I'd shoot at anything walking on two legs! Could be a dumbass in a suit!
As for panthers, of whatever color, if it is legal, I'd probably shoot! There are no "black Panthers" though.
Most people that see these cougars or panthers or whatever the local term for them is, see them in low light conditions in which they appear to be black!
There is, or was at one time a black cat with spots called a Jaguarundi, but they are supposed to be extinct!

No I would not take the shot, nor do I think it is ethical to shoot something to prove its existence.

Those are, of course, easily recognizable as "sarcasm" to most anyone with an IQ higher than their hat size. But, I guess since you're referring to liberals, you're probably right... Most of them aren't capable of grasping such nuance.:D
