He made a bad decision. He took a bad shot.

I'll argue the shot was legal, and lethal.....just not very "ethical" (IMO).

You hunt legally and ethically....and I'll congratulate you and take your kill photos. I'd argue "quartering-to" shots (if you saw this one you know) like the one he took offfer ONE outcome.

Gutshot.

Jim....you can try and stir the pot all you want. I've held to my position that I'll defend any man's hunting....as long as he's doing so legally AND ethically.
