So huntingBry is this situation also weapon dependant? Suppose you were hunting with a Rifle? what about Black powder? Pistol? Shotgun w/slugs?
Does your answer only hold water for a bow? What type? Compound? Traditional? Scoped CrossBow?
No, I don't see that the situation is weapon dependant. My point was you were not making an apples to apples comparison. All of the weapons you mention above are single projectile weapons which, generally speaking, have a most desirable shot situation being on a calm still animal.
Small game and upland bird hunting is based on flushing the animals and shooting them. Waterfowl is based on calling the birds in and taking them in flight. Big game hunting is based on getting within the animals defense perimeter and taking a clean killing shot.
It's like comparing trout fishing to ocean sportfish fishing. Yeah they're both fishing, but the way you do it is completely different.
