How often do you pass on shots simply because they are too easy?

Vulcan 3 700mm
30 cal... 54gn slugs @ 976 fps
15 yards

Almost passed on this one, it was soo damn close. Normally would have passed on such an easy shot but been a slow week and need 2 more rabbits for my stew

 

[PasadenaMike]

Never , easier the better

Zeke , with that gun of yours , I think you should pass on anything under 50 yrds , just sayin' LOL

 

[SilentSquirrel]

NEVER!
if it a squirrel anywhere near my fruit trees

There is 2 magpies in the back yard where i live, they like to poop on my car, and i have a strong urge to do something about that even if its a highly build up residential area.
For sure the damn swines are lucky i got flat rate car wash on my car, and so can wash my car 3 times a day if i wanted to ( or more there are no cap on my deal )

Also somehow even if the CCTV camera on my car use smart motion detect, it now register the birds as humans often and send a alert to my phone and tablet.
Damn swines also lucky on that i do not have sound on my phone or tablet aside for when i sleep, so i can do the insane jack out of a box in case someone mistreat my property.

A nice quiet 177 should do the trick those bastards

 

[Motorhead]

LOL Like NEVER !!!

Indeed, the smack of the slug landing is higher than it getting sent on its way, even if its FAC here.

Hunting for food is just that ,easy is best . Hunting for Trophy is just cruelty .

 

[Septicdeath]

I never pass on a easy shot, they are few and far between.

Not to the animal…. they’re both pretty cruel.

Shots of 15 yards are actually not that easy for me with my bullpups. I have to remember to shoot pretty high over the target. But I still take them if offered. I may wait a few seconds if I think the target may move a few more yards away, however. If the animal is in season (or there is no season like Armadillos) and I have a safe shot, basically I take it.

I hear that, close shots with a scope can throw you off if you don't practice. I aimed 1.5 mils high and still hit him low.

Zeke , yes ,those up close (measured in ft not yrds) are not always easy. I have a barn that I'll hit today that will have those shots . I'll pull out my chair blind to set up in a room 30' squared . Rats coming from all directions ! Found this yesterday while covering an open ground feed pile. I had tried this area some time before w/ no sightings even though there was plenty of sign. Well I've pulled out the Kral NP-03 ( to be sold to the gent that rents the house ) & remounted the ATN -LTV scope, turned the power down ,sighted in @ 20 - 25 ft , screwed on the Donny Sumo & heading out .
