I cannot justify a defense for any form of "hunting" that would have a "hunter" take 50 shots at an animal.

I wouldn't care if they sat in their truck beds and shot at 2,000 yds. As long as they were capable of atleast having a reasonable chance for a kill.

I don't think anyone would defend a guy who never having shot a bow in his life, climbs a tree and tries to stick a deer. But I would bet you even he would hit one before taking 50 shots...LOL
