    Shoot em till they drop.Hit em in the rear they generally spin and give you a second shot.Have not lost one yet.

    I love the comments about offhand shooting lol
    Some real cowboys in here, I'd lay money 90% of guys couldn't hit paper offhand at 100 yards with any kind of consistency.

    Maybe you folks are referring to me. I spend the time and the money sending thousands of rounds downrange offhand. I know what I’m capable of on a good day, and also what a bad day looks like. My accuracy doesnt depend on the caliber, but my focus and comfort level. I got professional instruction from the Marine Corps early in my life and have continued to attempt to build on that foundation. Not everyone who posts exaggerates their ability. Some actually understate their results in order to avoid hubris.

    Not always, if on a slope they will frequently turn to run downhill. Anchor them well or you will regret all the extra packing.

    The second half is not good advice at all.

    yup. Ive done free hand standing shoot competitions at the range. Pretty hard to hit a 12" gong at 200 freehand, success rates are pretty low with a group of 20 shooters. Go prone!

    Sounds like the worst advice and a lot of wasted meat

    Like I said, I shot my first moose offhand from a boat, open sights. That was in the 80s. When I'm looking at a live target in the woods make no mistake: I find a rest and do everything I can to increase the odds of making a fast kill. Last moose I killed the rest was a tree branch. The last bear? Same thing. My offhand shooting will make them keep their heads down, at best.
