RE: THE PRO'S AND LOST ANIMALS...
I think this is an excellent question. However, I shall present you with another situation. I was hunting in West Point, MS this past Janurary and took a shot at an 8 point after about 30 minutes on stand. It was fairly light but I missed a twig. The shot sounded good but something didnt look right the last time I saw the knock. 25 yards broadside and I drilled a twig the arrow was covered with lots of blood but also lots of gut.I looked for the rest of that day for that deer. He just stopped bleeding. It wasnt a marginal shot from my point of view at the time of the shot because I couldnt see the limb that deflected to the right my arrow. Now Im sure thats not the case in every TV hunters adventures but it might have happened to one or two decent guys before that still regret it. Im one of them (but Im not on TV). The people that you are describing are absolutely horrible. Its just another slap in the face of hunters every where. Hopefully PETA will not get wind of any of it.
