Default Couldn't beleive this Unethical shot from a Pro.

The other day I was watching the Primos "Big Game Out West" which I bought last fall, where Brad Farris is Archery Hunting for Antelope. He's in a blind sitting by a water-hole when a group of antelope come up and drink. Then a shooter buck takes a drink i'm guessing roughly 35-40 yards away. The buck is faced directly at him, at ground level, with it's head down drinking, and Brad takes the shot!!! The arrow goes in the back of his neck, and obviously the shot didn't hit any vitals. They back off and the next day they recover the buck.

I couldn't beleive when I saw him take the shot. I had to rewind it and watch it a few times. I don't understand why a "professional" would take a bad shot on a buck that is being filmed on a video, when chances are, if he waits a little more the buck is going to turn. I'm sure some of you out there have this video in your collection. Take it out and watch it. Unbeleivable, and they calls themselves Pro's! There's a big difference in taking and making a bad shot. I last thing we need is poor examples(like that) out there for our young and new hunters.

Am I wrong to think this way or does anybody agree?
