The previous thread was closed because we hit 100K. Now that the definition of the topic has been thrashed out, perhaps there are more stories of fox and quail at ones feet, or shooting a deer at point blank as it runs by after being spooked likely from its bed.
Personally I've one story of a shooting I regret. After seeing a squirrel duck into a hollow tree, I staked out that tree until it showed. Range: 5 yards, Ammo: 20 gauge #6 birdshot. I got the squirrel. But one: there was a LOT of lead in the meat, and two: I should've backed off another 5 yards.
