Default Wounding an Elk

My friend has a ranch in MT. He shot an elk the ither day and he turned just as the arro was released, and he is not sure where he hit him. The could see the elk bedded down for 10 hours and did not appear to be hurt that bad. They tried to stalk up and get another arrow into him, but spooked him. The other guy with my friend was upset when my friend wanted to hunting the next day, he said " You had your chance and blew it and you should not hunt anymore this year"!

My question to all of you, do you believe he should quit, or keep hunting? I think since he has not filled his tag, he should keep hunting. I know it is not illegal, but the other guy told him he was being unethical. I do not beleive that is the case.

Would love to know your thoughts.
