Hey! I really appreciate you taking the time with my questions. And of course that field test

But just so I fully understand:

The buck shot will penetrate more if not excessively and is less "messy"/more humane...

and

Say #8 shot works just as well if not better, is cheaper, is safer because of less penetration but causes a mess/'not the most humane'

Is that right?

Last question promise

Sounds sympathetic, but should one be concerned with being humane or not? I've seen some pictures that made me second guess having to shot someone instantly...the feeling leaves soon after though..for I know if it must be done, it must be done.

Thanks again for all the help!
