As long as we have the habitat, we can argue forever about who gets to kill what and when.  No habitat = no game.

Thank you both!  We spotted him at about 3/4 mile, got to within 325 yards, 20-25mph crosswind, the variation in wind drift was too great at that range so we belly crawled to 250 yards and that was as close as we were going to get.  My shooting guru buddy calculated 5.3 MOA wind drift (13.25"), he was bedded quartering on.  I held on the front of his near side rear leg, at the shot he jumped up, staggered and fell over.  Bullet entered low in front of his near side front leg, went through his heart top to bottom.  I thought it exited his far side rear leg, but that ended up just being a jacket fragment that passed through.  .308, 165gr Trophy Bonded Bear Claw bullet expanded to .70" and was loose in his chest cavity.

"When my bow falls, so shall the world. When me heart ceases to pump blood to my body, it will all come crashing down. As a hunter, we are bound by duty, nay, bound by our very soul to this world. When a hunter dies we feel it, we sense it, and the world trembles with sorrow. When I die, so shall the world, from the shock of loosing such a great part of ones soul." Ezekiel, Okeanos Hunter
