Thanks Kathy, Tess, Carol, Randy and Kay for your comments.Perhaps it's the kid in us but we rarely recognize possible consequences when shooting wildlife.
Any day afield is considered successful whenever we can get through the end of the day without getting bitten, stung, gored or trampled to death.
