I bowhunt and rifle hunt, primarily rifle hunting, as I've been doing that for going on fourteen years as opposed to only bow hunting two years. But I can assure you with rifle or bow I do all I can to recover anything I shoot at. It depends on the person. A hunter does not turn into a mindless lead slinger just because he has a rifle in his hands. If they're unethical with a rifle they would be just as unethical with a bow. I just don't like seeing rifle hunters get a bad rap because of things like this when most of us are not like that.
