You know an interesting bit of information that no one has keyed to here? We talk about having to finish the elephant off with a rifle, but the main reason that is happening is to keep the elephant from killing anyone before it expires. It's not that the beast won't die, the problem is it may kill us or the PH first. No one is talking about the thousands of deer every year that we let lay for hours to bleed out and die after a not so perfect shot. Or even 30 minutes after a perfect shot. How many threads are posted on this forum every year about giving the deer plenty of time, don't push it. Give them time to die. And we are blowing arrows clean through them. An accepted facet of bowhunting is that the arrow kills by blood loss, does that rule change when we go to bigger animals? But then again bambi isn't going to come see how high he can throw you in the air. Silly me, I thought that was just part of the deal when you sign up to hunt critters that can kill you. All of your dangerous game can (and often does) take multiple shots to kill even from heavy rifles in the hands of a competent P.H. Should that be outlawed too?
