Now just answer this "ethical" shot question.
Have YOU EVER taken a 200 yard + yard shot at a running coyote?
Did you practice that shot on a target before hand and were very comfortable (like) 95% you could do it?
No spin please, yes or no.

They shot that other bear, directly in the rear, with zero intent of anything being ethical. Just to hit it with a big bullet to slow it down
As I said before, when they shot it the absolutely most difficult angle and the smallest target. If they waited til it’s stood up broad side. The shot would have been way way easier. All they needed to do was to wait. Nothing needed to be forced.
zero spinning
I shoot at running coyotes all the time.
I shoot them to kill them
And I shoot them For practice
If you want to get great practice for shooting at moving deer
Go predator hunting more
You learn what shots you can make and which ones are low percentage.
I’ve gone to calibers that are all within 100-150 fps of each other just for that reason. Consistency
Like I said before, what may be ethical for me, may not be for you
The biggest determining factor comes from practice
Confidence when your shooting can’t be replaced
There’s nothing like having your guide/buddy look at you and say “what do you think”
And you fire back “outta the way, I got this”
