What gets me is the fact that people react on the baboon and not the shot, i have visited numerous video clips on turkey head shots with bows rifles etc, Rabits Deer and much more. nobody reacts to them in this manner.
What makes the baboon any different? the shot is Good, and that is what everything is about, i have looked at some posts and people mentioning that why shoot a Baboon, Baboon makes a beautiful trophy, and this was one of the trophies the client wanted,he can afford it. Why not Shoot it, because people don't think shooting primates is nice ?
Yes the shot seems Graphic, but hell any kill shot is Graphic, just look at some of the Profile pictures in this forum, they are in cases more graphic than this baboon clip.
Ethics, that is an argument that can go a long way.
Guys please, don't get on my case for sharing what seemed to me as being a good shot and something you do not see everyday.
Just to make a small correction on the perception on this site, i was the Cameraman and we did the Editing on the Clip.
The PH did instruct the client as to the vital areas, the client made the choice he was comfortable with.
Watch the clip Enjoy it, or don't watch it, the ideas was to share it with other bow hunters, but it seems the hunting fraternity has lots of different views, leave me to mine, you have yours.
There is a lot of people who liked the clip, great, i like it.
