I don't agree with your statement in bold. An animal can die by other than a vital hit from an arrow, bullet, etc.
Ie:
You hit them in the guts they will die!! You hit them in the jaw on a botched head shot they will die!! You may never find them because of the lack of blood spill but they willnot survive all non vital hits.
Actually a gut shot is a vital shot, they will bleed to death. Now a jaw shot is not, and technically the bullet didnt kill them, starvation or infection did.
Please, the straws for which you are grasping are very short.[
] I don't consider the guts a vital(nor doI know any hunters who do). I certainly won't consider a wound inflicted by a hunter that lead to death a non lethal action. Whether blood loss, starvation or predator was the final nail in the coffin is moot as they died as result of previous actions or other than natural manners.
Ya, well you know what I meant the first time, and you go and get all technicall. So back at you. A gut shot deer is direclty associated with death by bleeding caused by the bullet. Not so if hit in the jaw, foot ,leg etc. Any artery is a vital shot whether it be one in the intestine or in the femur. To kill an animal quickly and humanely you have to punch a whole in an artery and where better to do it than right through the boiler room, tons of arteries there. Does it make sense now ? Why not shoot a deer in the ass ? I mean bulletshave tons of energyand kill different than knifes or arrows, shoot them in the ham, or the stomach or wherever you choose, You dont have to hit them inthe arteries right ?
