Out of the 100+ goats I've taken, probably ten or more were spine shot. I admit, it can be nerve racking because they screem and even try to scramble away if they still have their front arms. I never waste another arrow, I just go over and knife them once in the chest. Kills them just as fast as another arrow.

The first time, it was a horrible experience. I felt really bad but once I started cleening it and had meat in the bag, I felt much better.
