“The shooter is responsible for the bullet until it comes to rest” was repeated over and over in mine. I would only add “and afterward” given the issues with lead poisoning of scavengers around this area. Not understanding just how far a bullet can travel is a frequent issue I have seen, where thinking a mile or more is just not there. If there is not a backstop, don’t take the shot. Lots of hunters here use tree stands for (at least in part) this reason. If your trajectory is down, it can’t carry very far. This is not responsible hunting at all.
