I don't hunt. I want to, and likely will, but thus far in my life have not had the opportunity (not coming from a hunting family, friends don't hunt, ect.)So I have this question which another thread made me wonder...
You shoot an animal and wound it. You hustle after, finally catch up, and find the animal still alive. Where do you put the kill shot? Do you use your rifle? Or a sidearm you may have with you (maybe not legal)?
I'm sure this depends on the type of animal, whether it is to be mounted, ect. The answer(s) may even be obvious. But I've studied up and worked out alot in my mind. This is something I've not yet answered for myself. And... I'm of the school that there are no stupid questions.
Thoughts? Personal experiences would be a bonus.
Thanks.
