Ok guys, white tail season starts for me very soon. I get the best spot on our land this year and I'm confident I'm bagging a buck because no one has hunted this spot and not taken a buck.
I was originally confident in using Winchester Silver Tip 400 grain sabots in my Mossberg 500 but now I'm sort of worried. Make fun of me, call me PETA, but I care about a bucks last minutes of life taken by me for sport. I want a round that will take him out quick, and with the least pain possible.
Is the 400 grain sabot too much? Will the larger wound cause more pain, or will it cause so much nerve trauma that he dies quicker and feels less pain?
Last but not least, am I a wimp for caring? Have you guys ever chosen a round based on this sort of belief?
