Do you mean me?

Not many spoke up when a member on here was happy for migrants to die if he could have a lower tax bill, no outrage when a migrant dies in the channel, it appears that some people are worth less than others and that's not good place to be.

Apologies if I misunderstood your post, but I think we should start from the viewpoint that it is a tragedy and not that she should have stopped at the first safe country.

Yet another one with little humanity for the needless death of a woman.

Fleeing persecution? No, stop being a silly person.

Strange that a woman dies and it isn't mentioned by the postee?

As above, neither of the creation scenarios make sense, nor does life springing up from primordial puddles and eventually making us???

Huge question in a small package. If you reduce it further you have to either pin your hopes on the strangest of things, either a universe that pops into existence from nothing with no way of us understanding why or a universe that pops into existence from nothing by way of an uncreated creator? Neither can be proven and are just taken on by faith.

Not really, I know a few too, a GP, a professor in astrophysics, a doctor in palliative care, and one who has done a lot in IT , systems analyst, software testing/security and other stuff I don't understand. What is odd is believing having a deep seated faith excludes people from critical thinking 🤔

Any news?

Shouldn't be shooting, full F stop! It's a heart shot not chest shot! 2" low and you will have a runner that will go a long distance 2" to the rear the same! 2"....2" how far away are you shooting? Or you miss way over the top! Now lets talk about reds, a bit different to roe, or muntjac (never shot one but hold on!), etc. Big heads small heads? So does the 2" work for them? How about a big red stag on the rut? This time of year we had the full Jurassic park with the stags roaring at the top of their lungs telling the young guns to keep away and calling in the hinds. I've hit them square through the heart and seen them drop like a stone. Get up minutes later and walk towards them and they can get up and run 00's of metres... average dog 😆 gi yersel peace ya whallaper! Yeah why did you even try? Get a room you guys. You wouldn't know a fact if it walked up to you and shook hands and introduced itself. Waddaya want, pics of dead deer? See above. Like I said, over the years 2 headshots on deer, the other xxx were heart, a few (4 iirc) runners, non lost. It's not prowess it's cutting out the variables, hand loads, range time, range finders, sound mods, high seats, hours watching deer, knowledge of the ground, weather watching, ballistics, follow through, trigger sear, parallax error, etc etc "Gunshot wound, ballistic and medical experts on an arb forum. Who would have thought it. Not one of which I’d imagine has ever had the chance to hear the buzz or crack of a bullet pass by at close range." You're the one that started the whole thing and when confronted with a different opinion you go back to abuse and diversion, just try and understand that there may be an opinion different from yours. I've heard bullets pass by and even land close by, but you don't seem to want to admit that you could be wrong.

Possibly, but it shows that you know nothing about deer control apart from a quick troll across the Internet to find something to confirm your bias. You bring nothing, and when confronted by facts that contradict you all you do is divert in one way or another because you've been rumbled.

Not ear wounds. Over 20 years of deer control and culling I have taken 2 headshots for welfare reasons, the one quoted was a bag of bones I spotted with a severe limp and stalked up to just under 80m iirc, she had laid down in a hollow and there was a barbed topped wire fence between us. I could have walked around 4-600m to get a better shot but I would have been winded by her or I might have bumped another deer on the way, I dialled in for 80 or whatever the rangefinder said and as there was an inch of crown showing I thought that it was on. Unfortunately the shot went right of the aim point, possibly it touched a grass stalk, and put a neat hole through her lug, and the only blood was a splash where she was and no trace along the trail she ran. I got her in exactly the same place a few days later in the same circumstances but this time I dropped her and that's how I knew I'd hit her lug, her teeth were worn flat to the gums/jawbone and was literally a bag of bones and wasn't lardered just left out for hoodies etc close to a high seat to entice a fox onto it. I've shot hoodies out beyond 200 and punched paper at Bisley and other ranges out to 500, at 100 I'm happy to say I will cloverleaf using my home loads and BT's. Finally I'm not au fait with American white tail deer but I do know my shot placement on Roe, fallow and red.
