Default RE: A couple of hypothetical questions... What would you do?

I have a hard time believing that a case could be made that proposes shooting the animal (by the tagged out hunter, in a trophy harvest scenario, as described) as the right thing to do. I would like to hear if anyone really believes that could be the case in this hypothetical situation. thanks
hillbilly why do you have to disclaim it with the word "Trophy" is a large buck, bull or boar more meaningful than a small one or a female game animal? I don't think so! The right call to make all things considered if the animal is not wounded is let him walk and the hunter burn their tag. Shooting it for them will do nothing for the persons future in the sport, you are much better to give them some of your animal and say lets try again next time if you think you are able too carry through, if the meat is the primary concern. Size of antlers has absolutely nothing to do with it, it still is an animal that deserves our respect!
