My ethics class taught me everyone has feelings and no one is right or wrong haha. Ethics are very elastic now. I don't agree that it is an ethical shot but the true issue here is not that I don't practice. I practiced for a three months almost every day shooting from different positions and scenarios. The issue is that I have severe anxiety and buck fever. I can run and be exhausted and shoot fine, but when I have a few seconds to decide to shoot an animals in front of me; that's where the issue with my shooting appears. I don't bring anyone down on this forum, at least I don't try to. Many people think accusing someone or talking crap about them will somehow magically make someone a better hunter. No. I have learned that explaining to them without anger is the best way.
