Its people like this that fuel the fire for anti gunners. Not only do you owe it to everyone else to PID your target, but you owe it to the animal to make a good shot and a clean kill. Blind or sound shots are dangerous and you are a complete idiot if you hunt anything like that. Put him on trial for manslaughter.
On that note, is a .270 enough for a bear anyway?Quote:

I once talked to an old man, maybe 80ish, who told me that 20 years before he had been working a bird for hours (Turkey hunting) The bird had hung up for ever just out of range gobbling. He decided to try a different strategy and quit calling. The bird shut up and a few minutes later he sees the red/white head slowly moving through the brush. When it seemed the head was clear he shot.
He had shot another old guy who was bent over picking mushrooms. The guy had been wearing earth tone clothing, all except a bright red/white bandanna around his neck.
The thing that stuck with me, was how sure he had been of his target. Not defending the guy here, but I see how elements can cloud ones judgment.
Be careful out there.
Well did he kill the guy?
Long night?
