I honestly can't see how you can shoot a person unless you are shooting at movement or sound.
My brother shot a small 8pt with the rifle this year. The deer was wounded and running and he opted to put it down even though it's not what he hunts for. Bullet went through a smallish tree (not a sapling) and dropped the buck. 30-06.
He was elevated and the shot was completely safe, but I was amazed the bullet passed through that tree.
It was a reminder to me that when things are happening fast, its just a deer. Shooting is inherently dangerous. Bullets carry way more than most of us anticipate.
Some years ago, there was an investigation into a kid that was struck by a bullet. Ultimately, it was determined the shot was taken like a mile away. That was a .22.
Uphill shots, scary. There's the big buck on the top of a ridge, how many pass that shot? I'm not perfect, but that incident gave me the knowledge to do so, and I have.
I've personally seen bullets wizzing through the woods as they pushed through boughs and brush. In the moment, those hunters were aiming towards deer...but deer move and have no idea where other hunters are.
Even on private, I've discovered folks trespassing to hunt. Tracking a deer. Whatever. A reminder you may not know where other hunters are either.
Pray we make good decisions, take good safe shots, and make them.
I always use a headlamp on public, even during archery. Seen an arrow shot through the woods at nothing. Some treat an xbow like a shotgun, so I apply gun season rules for my protection.
The one area I need to be better, orange on my pack.
