Most people do not deliberately gut shoot a deer. But people do take perfectly legal but very difficult shots. I believe it is our responisbility as ethical hunters to call these people out and openly stand against it. i think there is a fine line between what can be done and what should be done. I'm a pretty good shoot nothing amazing but decent. Do i think i can make a good enough shot with a small caliber gun to kill a deer. Yes i do but i choose not to because i know i am human and can make mistakes. and out of respect for the animals i hunt i do my best to make the cleanest kill possible. Does this mean that i'm going to hunt with a 50 BMG no because i believe that i can make just as clean of a kill with my 308 as i can with the higher calibers but with less lost meat. I believe i could make clean kills with small calibers but the chances go way up that i will would that animal and why should i hunt with this 218 when i also own a 308? I think it IS our job as hunters to question each other. and to make sure that everyone we enjoy the outdoors with is giving all of us a good image.
