Moose question

[bearkilr]

Did you read my comment?

I wasn’t talking about the video. I was talking about the British style of hunting, as opposed to the North American model. Where land owners own the “wild” game as long as it’s on their property, and “hunters” pay to hunt on property where land owners employ Game Keepers to guide the hunters to the game and point out which animals are acceptable for harvesting. I was just noting that the British model of hunting is closer to a cull, than to what we North Americans would consider a “hunt”.

My point, which is the same as I made in another post, is that Europeans largely consider a head shot unethical in a hunting situation, whether it's on private land, in an enclosure or wherever. You found a video about a cull.It doesn't matter if you're in agreement or disagreement with British gamekeeping, the fact remains this isn't a video about a hunt.

If you'll look at a map, you'll notice that we have just a bit more land to hunt on here in Canada and consequently our practices may differ. There's more crown land in BC than there is land in the entire UK.

Not shooting is always an option... often the mature and prudent option.

And my point, was that sweeping generalizations are goofy.

See, you’ve moved from your first assertion that “they never take head shots” to your latest comment “they largely consider it unethical”, which is also a largely held position in North America.

Anyway, this is stupid and derailing the op. Enjoy your Canada day weekend.

OR...... someone could be asked who holds a valid EU hunting license and often hunts in Germany, Czech Republic, Poland, Netherlands, Slovenia, Hungary what the thoughts are on head shots. With the requisite practice, confidence in ones abilities it can be an effective and humane shot. But you are correct this has become silly.

Happy Great Awesome Canada weekend to all who applied . And Thanks for all the ideas views etc . The old dude can work and keeps active but walks with that WW2 vets style of old school prosthetic leg walk . Kinda has to flip out the foot , plant it , check it , step with other leg
And NO he is not a WW2 vet , just an eggsample .

If he can't chase a moose, or get in a position that provides a better shot, how is he going to deal with the beast once it's down in soggy ground and bushes that are head height or better?

If it doesn't drop in its tracks, then what?
