Default Honest Question: Cow hunts.

So I have an honest question for you guys:

Let's say a local farmer approaches you and says "Ya know what? I'm taking a half-dozen beef cattle to the slaughterhouse this weekend. Since their collective fate is already sealed, if you want, you can come out with your friendsand shoot them with your archery tackle, as long as you pay forany meat that you ruin." "I'll show you which six to shoot, then you guys can help me load them up."

The gears start turning in your mind. You'd love to do some penetration testing with a few different broadheads and just work on your shot placement with a live target. You've never harvested an animal that large before... Hmmm....

So this wouldn't be "hunting" per se, but moreso ethically taking an animal that was alreadytabbed to be butchered.
