I've seen a few groups only net say 1/3 of the total and then the number of cripples was near 1/3 of the remaining 2/3rds. Most of the cripples are fodder for the raptors and scavengers if you don't hunt them up immediately after the shoot.
Kind Regards,
Raimey rse That is sadly, indicative of the percent of cripples I have witnessed by those shooting at roosters flushing at 40/50 yards. I have yet to see near the number of long range shooters I read about on these boards and I have yet to see any of them drop a high percentage of those birds hit, Dead In the Air. Thankful I am for good dogs that make the mistakes acceptable. I will happily own up to being wrong if someone wants to "show" me, but after 58 seasons, the last 20 or so in the field 110 days or more, I remain a disbeliever. That's a really good point. Too much emphasis these days on long shooting and not enough on "hunting" skills.
