I have made bad decisions on game shots and have seen about all of my hunting buddies do the same. There is something about a bird flushing at my feet that causes me to lose 40 IQ points. Since I only had 70 to start with that has led to some bad decisions on range and "bag-ability". Certainly in casual conversation I would say I wouldn't take a shot at so-and-so range or wouldn't shoot two birds out of a covey rise because poor scenting conditions make it hard to find the bird that was shot first.

But after a 75 yard walk watching dogs hold point and 25 birds getting up around my feet unexpectedly I have made bad decisions.

This post doesn't mean I don't regret them. I just understand JoE's point.

Best,

Mike
