Default Shooting an Elk Facing You?

Tonight, I was watching Bowhunter Magazine TV - in which Dwight Schue shoots a bull elk (in Wyoming) coming into the call. From the camera angle, the shot appears to be directly frontal. Even if the camera man is was off to one side; the shot was, at best,quartering towards the hunter. I was always taught that this was an irresponsible shot - to wait for broadside or quartering away. Dwight did eventually get the elk - but I sat there thinking this was somewhat irresponsible to show on national TV.
