Well, that's where I differ. Please understand that I am not saying I'm a superior human being for taking this position. It's just that I have certain convictions and standards that I've formed for myself. Your mileage may vary.
The largest gun I own is a .308. I've been out and seen deer at long range. When that happens, I try to get closer or wait for another deer. If no deer shows up within my own personal maximum range then I don't shoot at a deer that year.
I've written about taking longer shots, and one of them happened to be on the last day of the season. But those were the occasions that taught me to do otherwise. I won't do it again.
