ssaPe the hunters to die a death of agony later on. Be humane:
NIL tdS1h eNoH' u, iI 'he4h So. 20 gun slugS, or single ball
loads. as some call them, are far more humane and are ure
killers if you hit your game. If you miss your aim. there is no
harm done. There are no stray pellets of lead scattering around
to merely wound the game. That deer will be saved to run
again another day instead of becoming fox food that night.
Be sure your stand is either out of range of the next man in
the line II has plenty of trees between you. Mosquitoes buzzing
around your head are a nuisance, but they are much to be pre-
ferred over hot lead!
If you have graduated from the shot gun and now Sc a rifle
for deer hunting, as more and more hunters are doing, you owe it
to yourself and your fellow hunters to be doubly careful. Never
use full metal jacket bullets. Always use soft point or open point
bullets. They are the ones designed for hunting. They expand
on impact and deliver a stunning blow to the game that generally
anchors it close to the spot it is hit. Also, this type of bullet
quickly expands and falls to the ground if the game is missed and
the bullet strikes brush and limbs. I seriously doubt that a soft
point high power bullet will pentrate much more brush and
limbs than a 90 buch shot will, and there is only ONE rifle bullet
while there are NINE buch shot to the load. Men with rifles
should never fire directly towards another hunters stand. While
the odds are 100 to 1 that the bullet will never pentrate that far
through the under brush, it is just plain foolish to take chances.
And finally, always remember to be a real Sportsman while
hunting. Half the fun in hunting is just to be in Gods great
outofdoors with pleasant companions, leaving the cares and
worries of the business day far behind. Keep it that way by
playing fair with yourself, your companions, and the game. Re
member-accidents don't happen-they are caused. ALWAYS
BE CAREFUL.
