There's your problem right there SAD... "Hunting" implies failure..."Killing" demands success.. I know once as a young lad... Just to see how fast and accurate I was... I took my single shot .410 and a pocket full of bird shot out. Crept slowly and quietly out to my mothers bird feeder and tried to see just how many squirrels I could shoot before they all got away... I figured I was shooting a single shot so they had a sporting chance... I shot 4 out of 4... not bad I think... considering the speed it takes to break the barrel down and reload in between shots... And I didn't even damage the bird feeder... If it makes you feel better... I fed them to the neighbors cat... so the meat didn't go to waste... then I shot the catThat's not hunting, it's killing and it says a lot. You just picked them off while sitting on your porch? For what reason? To kill something? To prove how good you could shoot? I've never hurt an animal in my life, intentionally, that I didn't intend on eating. Roadkill is different, but everything I've ever shot at or caught, has been for food and skin. Gator, deer, boar, fish, birds, rabbits, squirrel, etc, all killed by me and I've got the feast pictures and holsters and belts and boots to prove that I hunt for a reason beyond killing.
