I use the absolute best equipment available to me. And I do my best to stay within my abilities. I try to respect ALL life, even those of invasive and destructive species, and in that respect I do my utmost to deliver a quick and as humane as possible kill.
Of course I also want a good quick clean kill, but I would just be lying if I said I don't take shots at yotes I wouldn't even consider on a deer and I'd also be lying if I said I put as much effort into recovering a yote as I do a deer. I shoot the yotes because they eat a lot of animals I want to eat myself so in return I have a hard time looking down my nose at those that do the same with deer that are eating thousands of dollars worth of corn and beans they grow to support their families even though I personally don't agree with it.
