Reply #5 - Jun 3^rd, 2013 at 9:40pm Don't aim at animals unless you are hunting and will use what you hit. That goes for all weapons. And don't tell us if you do so out of season.

Rabbits, grouse and couple squirrels.
I've thrown at coyotes, dogs, cats some livestock but only to chase them out of or into places.
Slings are not reliable enough for consistent hunting success. I've missed a ton more then I've hit.
Scared the crap out of a bunch of animals, injured or killed very few.

There are a lot of rabbits around which means that right now there are fewer coyotes and foxes and birds of prey. Thinking it's time to take in some live animal practice.

Have wanted to throw into a flock of ducks or geese but havent' yet. It's one of the few ways a sling can be used to take game with a better chance of success.

I sling. Therefore I am. Tano' Hu I Islan Guahan. http://itanohu.blogspot.com
