That last post brings up a good point. It is his animal and his right to kill it...and eat it...as he sees fit. What does it matter if he puts a pistol to its head or you shoot it with a bow? I sort of wonder how sporting it is going to be though. Just because it doesn't let you get close to it doesn't mean that it won't stand still at 20 yards while you draw back and put a bead on it. If it ran at the sight and/or smell of you then that might be a different story....at least in my opinion.
