I don' t believe that people will tend to take more questionable shots just because they can use s dog to track an , animals can still go a very long way if hit in a place that is not hit well .

I do agree that people need yo make the best shot possible and to practise diligently however .
The people I know that run deer , bear, and coyotes with hounds are very good shots but practise as regularly as most others o know.
