Its unfortunate fact of hunting but wounding animals occurs..
I am fortunate enough to not have wounded an animal while on a hunt..I've never had to track anything down..I'm sure it isn't the easiest thing to do..One day I'll probably have a foot shoved in my mouth because it probably will happen to me some day..
Especially when your dealing with an animal that is determined not to get caught..
My problem with this arctical isn't so much that he wounded it and couldnt find it...But more of the ethical reasoning why did he have to shoot another....Yes it is the law...
But that magazine teaches kids about the rights and privledges and ethics to everybody..Not just kids but adults aswell..
Anybody can be swayed into trying something different..
Maybe My Son and I can teach him that you can be happy with just what ya got and learn from what you lost..
There is alot of hunters /writers who come back with nothing but a story to tell..
He already had a story..He shot and wounded an Elk..His wife shot an Elk she is in the story aswell..So between two of them they had meat in the deepfreeze, a artical in a mag. and a rack on the wall...
Why did he have to shoot another bull???????
