" ... recreational deer hunters usually target the chest, rather than the head, to preserve the antlers for trophies. A chest shot causes more suffering than a well-placed head shot because it does not render the animal instantaneously insensible. Hunters often kill the larger males and leave smaller animals and dependent young, which can result in a disrupted social group and distressed and orphaned young."
What charming characters these boozed-up recreational deer hunters are.
Peccahead does his best to vilify hunters who are doing something that is 100% Legal,vilification of law abiding people doing legal pastimes is illegal peccahead is a hoplophobic bigot.
Nice selective quoting peccahead,you left out this bit-
Quote:The RSPCA says professional pest controllers are the most effective yet all the professional cullers disagree with the RSPCA on shot placement.
A good heart shot takes out both lungs as well as the heart,death is instant.
Quote:Those who go for skins prefer headshots to preserve the pelt.
The firearms test for Professional Roo culling says you have to shoot a 5 shot group of 75mm or better at 80m,i shoot 6mm groups at 100m.
www.firearmtraining.com.au/html/10aboutkhtest.htmI disagree with the RSPCA on using spotlights for deer hunting, it is perfectly legal on private property yet illegal to spotlight on public land for safety reasons.
