a lot of folks over fear shooting dangerous game, not that there shouldn;t be concern and for thought to one's actions, but in all honestly when a large animal is shot, be it with gun or archery gear, 99.9% of them will run away, NOT attacked the shooter period!
as if the hunter has done there part right, the animals never knew what happened, to TARGET or single out the shooter!
even when a animal knows the hunter is present, they still 99% of the time, run away after being shot
yes some animals are more known to attack, maybe than others
and that might be due to maybe shooters making poor hits more than being singled out IMO!
I am, personal friends of several guides that hunt dangerous game animals in a few different countries!
and have talked to them about how often attacks happen after shots in the past, and they have all told me the same thing, its a low odds deal, and a lot comes down to a poor shot more than a anything!

and that be's with a firearm or archery gear, poor shot is a poor shot
a hit to the vitals in just that as well with either one!
