Meece 1,957 Posted January 17, 2019 Report Share Posted January 17, 2019 They do have a fair amount of misses and animals that are substantially badly wounded. When an animal is down they don't give it another round but close on it and use a knife. Their ethics are different. Its just meat and survival. Also dont forget that most of the terrain is just open snow so considered stalking often isn't an option and it is long range free hand shooting at running targets. Their life is one of survival. It's like a moving harvest. Miss out and you could starve. 1 Quote Link to post Share on other sites

Yeah I get all that, and obviously I look at things a lot different here, but even when I saw her break a rifle, she got a new one and after some ‘practise’ she got two rounds into a 2ft square and they were well happy with it I suppose if my life relied on it I wouldn’t be so concerned about wounding.
