Deer, Corn and Combines

No quarrel with you personally, I just don't like people telling others to shut up. You do not want to read his comments, just block him.

I have contributed to the discussion of buck shot, and perhaps have maybe started it, however my thought process is, if hunting deer you shouldn't be shooting at them when running or if you don't have a clear shot therefore ssgs are unnecessary. Buckshot simply provides a hail Mary approach to some, it's almost a close your eyes and hope for the best situation.
I'm know this will tick off some people but that's my opinion on ethical hunting.

By your comment hunting with dogs is no longer ethical. So no shooting running deer, what about flying ducks?

Perhaps we should nicely ask the deer to walk to the slaughterhouse so we can be sure of getting him.

Give it a rest. I’m sick of your boring repetitive posts. And bottom is not spelled bottum....

Be sick of whatever you want. I really don't care. Does promoting a quick humane kill bother you! Obiously many of you couldn't care a less about this. You missed a deer and shot one last week! You know when you miss or connect with a single projectile almost always! Can you say the same for buckshot? No way! To me wounding and not recovering an animal is an absolute horrible thing which is almost always avoidable if your patient and pick your shots. Keep spraying and praying. You all know deep down how many deer are left to die, never being recovered due to buckshot!

A bow does not permit a quick kill essentially the animal dies a slow death

Not if hit correctly. Double lunged deer most times are dead in less than 15 seconds.

Guaranteed every single time regardless of distance. I don't think so. No different than buckshot no matter how you slice and dice.

Huge difference. Again SINGLE PROJECTILE! If its double lunged its going down! No difference in 8-9 pellets you scatter with no control over than a single razor sharp hardened blade. Really?

You have not shot buckshot into a target at 30 yards. The same mistakes can be easily be made with a bow and regularly do.
